First flight yesterday with the used 109. Took off, flew around and trimmed. Did a clean stall. It rolled to the left but didn't snap. Found several problems after the flight. Tail wheel linkage with the rudder, clevis threads stripped. Elevators not even. Got that fixed and adjusted. Flew again this morning before it got windy. Take off was ok. Trimmed out. Did loops and rolls. Approach stall (gear and flaps down) about same. Flew slower than I thought it would and rolled left at the break. With gear down, slight nose heavy but flaps down cancelled that out. No mix needed. Landed ok with just a small bounce. With the gear moved forward and angled further forward, no tendency to nose over. you have to pay attention to directional control on take off, but not too bad. Dry weight is 14 lbs. I tried to keep it as light as possible. The DLE 20 is just enough. Turning a Graupner 16-8 three blade 7,450 rpm. Here are some pictures taken after the two flights. I'll see about some cosmetic work now that I know it will fly.
