Default first flight, first twin

Finally the weather/wind cooperated and I was able to put the maiden voyage into history. The bashed SR falcon twin flew just like the single engine kit. My plane came in at 7lbs a little heavier then what I was wanting, but not bad 19 to 20 oz. per sq. ft. I am a little nose heavy and the front strut seems like it is going to cause problems. Added a click of right trim and a lot of up. When I balance further rearward I hope it will need less trim. "Wow" that sound of the twins had everyone "wowing" What a blast, had an engine out on the third flight, flamed out after I was trying some snaps. Just to start both engines and run them up had my adrenaline pumping. All in all it was a successful flight , and I am looking forward to many more.
