Today I maiden my Xcalibur +. It flew just as well as I had come to expect. It is powered by a Jetcat P-80 with only 80 N of thrust and the take of was from a grass strip. Of course I could have used a few extra newton’s but it was airborne after about a 100 meters run and the power was quite sufficient to peacefully fly around the circuit. I noticed more pronounced trim changes in pitch than I had expected when I selected flaps and when I executed the landing gear, but nothing dramatic. On the second flight I had a flame out and had to make a dead stick landing witch also was rather undramatic due to this very stable airframe. However, I decides not to fly any more today before I can look through the fuel system for possible air leaks. The Xcalibur + is a great aeroplane and I think that I will have a lot of fun with it. An 80 N power plant is a little bit on the tame side and I think that a 120 N turbine would be much more appropriate. Maybe I’ll try to change to that in the futur
