Maiden flight:
There was some sever turbulence coming over the tents and pilots were having trouble landing so I let my buddy, Chris, do the honors. You can hear the wind in the video: pretty strong cross wind.
She was nose heavy so weight was taken out on the 2nd flight. Also, on this flight, I forgot to put the servo arm screw in one aileron and servo arm came off.
Two clicks on elevator was the only adjustment.
Most of the time, Chris only flew her at about 50% throttle.
He did rolls and loops. With only one aileron, the rolls were sluggish.
The landing light is nice and bright on landing. I had to remove the access door since I forgot to put a magnet on it and the prop wash kept opening it.
Left off some 'bells and whistles' so I could have her flying in time for Muncie.


Starts at 33 minutes into the video:
