After the maiden flight I noticed that it end up with some right trim up, more than what like, I did a lateral balance and added 2 1/2 oz of lead to the Right wing ( Left wing is heavier, epoxy curing as I type ) this Roo has been damaged before and repaired, then it was sold to my friend Jose' some 10 years ago, that's when I refurbish it, the engine history ( JetCat records) tells me that the engine had been sold new in may 2006 then back for a crash repairs in June 2006, since the Roo was repaired I can conclude that it was cartwheeled on TO or landing and the engine suffer cosmetics damages, all this in June 2006, now I have her and hopefully I can give her some needed TCL, tomorrow I will take her up again and will check the Right trim and the fuel leak on the engine, if all is good then, it's about flying her more often.

For those that knew I had eye sergury to remove cataracts, this is the latest, I had an eye exam today, all is good, 20/20 each eye, no prescription glasses needed ( over the counter reading glasses only ) I'm very happy with the end results and I'm a very happy jet modeler, the sky's is the limits eehaaa!!!

Stayed tunned
