Default Maiden!

Wow i cant believe it took me this long! I had it finished a couple years ago and it just hung in the ceiling. We got some cooler weather and i woke up last Sunday at the spur of the moment it hit me, lets do it! My thumbs havnt shook like that in years doing a maiden. As you will see in the video my rates were way too high. I was being a stupid idiot, i should have known better. That led to a nasty little stall on my first landing but no worries shes built well. After lowering the rates and getting a good feel for it on the second flight i lowered the rates even more and had just a little to much fun on the third and final flight of the day. A little fun fact, this is the exact same place i maidened my first rc plane 30 years ago, the GP pt60 i talk about in my first post of this thread. This was a special day. And thanks to my sons for catching some great footage. Watch the pics at the end of the video for a good laugh.
