Well Fellers,
I finally had the chance and had the plane at least ready for a first flight today. It was a success, kinda. The first attempt I throttled her up and away she went. I surprised on how fast the Enya .53 W/a APC 13x4W on 10% Cool Power pulled the plane up, with authority even!

I flew her for a while t a rich setting, and then tried to set her down. As I approahed I lined her up, brought the throttle back, and started to sit her down. When she was about 4 foot off the ground I noticed she just fell out, and hit down kind of hard. After refulling I throttled her up, and again away she went. This time using the retracts, man it makes the plane look so cool on low fly by's! After a while I brough her back in.

This time just before she sat down I for some reason gave some elevator input which caused her to rise too much. I immediatly nosed it over, and by that time the airspeed was to slow. She stalled and spun right hitting the tip of the wing and spun her around. Very little damage occurred though. Only the retract horn snapped, and of course both wing tips are in need of some MonoKote covering, no big deal. I'm just really happy she flew so well with the little Enya .53.

It going to make a very nice Sunday Flyer. I just need to learn to bring her in a little faster, and throttle her back just before touch down.

Thanks everyone for your input, and suggestions in this plane engine combo project, much appreciated!
Dennis
