I wish it had, I would never have left the ground. I was able to taxi it out and take off which went well. As I got airborne, the problems started. I was able to keep it in the air by idle, then quick acceleration, and back to idle. It wasn't a pretty flight, that I can guarantee, and gliding was difficult at best. I did get it down though and am now close to finding out the problem. Everything has been checked except the fuel so that will be next. Never gave it a second thought since I have an old Ultra Stick Lite that screams right along with a G26 using the same gas.
