Double Vision – DAY 1

Three days of test flying four new planes for the first time culminated in getting out and trying the pre-production Double Vision. I keep mentioning that it is a pre-production version because you will all get a plane with lots of little things sorted out and most likely lighter than mine.

If you are at 17 lb and have a DA 50 on the front – “Don’t worry – be happy!”

The 55F Sunday in NJ was still a bit cool due to some NE wind. I only planned to run the
DA-50, that way the decisions would be based upon getting the engine to run right rather than the desire to get into air at any cost that goes with testing a new plane.

I headed off to the local gas station and luckily found a gas attendant, (you are not allowed to pump your own gas in NJ), who understood the need to have 2 gallons put in my gas can instead of $2.00  Turns out that he used to fly RC 25 years ago.

At the field the plane was assembled as follows.
