Default The "Extase" is ready for flight!

Hello again everybody,

I finished test-running my YS .91, re-installed it, and the "Extase" is now ready to go! Although designed for a .60 2-cycle, the plane balanced properly with no additional weight required. This shows the good design, which allowed for the tank and battery to be positioned where they needed to be for balance.

The full construction article, with lots of photos, is on my web site, at http://www.nextcraft.com/rcpp_extase01.html

I've also attached an image. I expect to fly the plane this Sunday, (06-09-02) weather permitting, and will take photos at the field too. Following that, I'll post some trimming and flying tips on my site.

I can't wait to get this one in the air!
