The engine is still breaking in but still will pull the Waco straight up from level very well for about 200 ft. I only flew it twice today but I'm very impressed with this plane, it will probably replace my Skybolt as my favorite by-plane.
Congratulations on your maiden flight looks good in the air. Do you have an over all weight yet?
