Maiden my Zero and got in a second flight Sunday afternoon. I like this plane. It handled well as most folks have reported. I do have a problem with it climbing as I increase the throttle. I had enough down trim available to trim it level at half throttle or so. Landing with 10 degree of flaps and faster than necessary with some bounces. That should go away with a little experience on this plane.


This morning I am going to add about 2% downthrust and maybe get in a test flight or two this afternoon. I did not add any shims to the motor mounts during the original assembly, just flat against the firewall.


Looks like the OS 108 is going to be a good engine for this plane.
