I finally got around to taking this puppy for a spin. It came in at 51lbs. I have a DLE 120 in it spinning a 27x10 prop. I posted pics of the second flight n youtube. Unfortunately the maiden flight was recorded but way to out of focus due to the camera being set on manual focus instead of auto. I have a hard landing on the second flight because my dual rate for my elevator was set lower than the previous flight causing me no to have enough elevator when I needed it. After cutting the throttle the plane dips. I need to keep a bit of throttle on approach to keep the nose up. I lost a wheel while trying to land cause a small bit of damage to the tailwheel and wheel cover but it could have been worse. The wheel is only held on by a clip.
