I had help from a jet friend, he help me do all that was needed to prepare the jet for the maiden, we did the final checks, range, fail safe, taxi, he also helped me figure out why the engine didn't wanted to transition from propane to Kero every single time ( he inverted the propane bottle to get more gas in the chamber) the engine needed to pass the transition from propane to Kero, it needed to be hotter, for that it needed a bit more propane ( the engine has about 1 1/2 hrs of run time ) that may be a factor, don't know for sure.

The TO was smooth and almost straight, rotation was normal, on the climb out I almost relax the Elevons too soon, then we started to trim it giving down Elevons then some more and some right Aileron, we finally got it flying hands off, I open up the throttle, that felt really good my friend asked me to slow it down to get used to it at slow speeds, I did, since I forgot to set up the timer I decided to land, it came around for a gear pass then back on downwing with the airbrake fully deployed, approach was good, speed was good, on final I added a bit more throttle, cut the throttle, held the Elevons all the way to landing, the landing was smooth, on the mains, on the center of the runway, such a good landing, I even kept the nose wheel off the ground almost all the way to the end of the runway then brakes on, taxi back and let it sink, awesome flight.

All in all, I totally avoided the two things that get this type of jet damage, the over steering on TO and the bouncing during landing because of landing too fast.

I only got to fly it one time, when I was about to get it ready for the second flight I noticed some Kero under the engine and concluded that there is a small fuel leak coming from inside the engine's front cover, I will investigate and fix that.

I will be enjoying this jet during the months to come, it's a diferent animal and it also brings me back to my jet infancy since my first jet was a Kangaroo.

Moving forward to the next project

Later.
