So after quite some time getting my DC3 all sorted out, I finally did the maiden last week. What a great flying plane.

She's fitted with 2 x Saito 100FS and pneumatic gear.

I had to add about 1.5kg of weight in the nose to balance, but I plan on taking some out, as I think she's a little nose heavy.

Didn't have any issues for her first and second flights.

I've made the wings removable, with a wing bolt though the the rib ahead of the main spar, and added some rare earth magnets to hold the trailing edge in place. Worked quite well.

She's a beauty in the air!

Can't wait to fly her again.
