Now unless it's for an upcoming jet rally I just say it can wait.

Here's the take off roll of the Flash. The landing looked pretty much the same but went further down the taxiway to the right due to no air left for brakes. Could have probably aborted the take off but we all know how those split second decisions go.

Have you put a straight edge on the side of your wheels? I can honestly say there is not an UF flying in England with a nose/rudder gyro. The three i flew on Friday were all raw and track straight down the strip. The trailing nose leg has to run straight (especially if the steering wires are slightly loose as I prefer).

Dave Bugz had his new UF at our grass strip BBQ today and made two great flights, landing well within our small grass strip without even breaking into a sweat....one or two P-140RX passes got some attention from the assembled audience :-) Great flying.
