It was a rocky start to this first outing. On Friday, while she was in a cradle under Johns tent, a gust of wind picked it up and one on the tent legs hit the plane and knocked it over damaging it. The rest of the day and part of Saturday morning were spent making repairs. Then it took about 3 hours to pre-flight and adjust the prop for the 3800 RPMs we wanted on the Moki. As you can see in the video, it was all worth the effort, and this had a happy ending.
