I have been getting stick time on the first Harrier, lots to learn on this airframe. I have a new Harrier layed up, roughly 4 pounds lighter, I need to get the weight down for the size of the wing, the wing loading is just to high. That will also help when its time to hover it. I have had a little glider practice with it lately, NOT FUN!!!!!!!!!!!! Doesn't thermal worth a damn! When the engine is out it slows down like a jet landing on a aircraft carrier. I have never seen a aircraft slow down on a flame out the way this one does. Thank God for El Mirage, theres always a place to set it down, any other field I would be on my third or fourth jet by now.
I have also been working on all the reaction control puffer jets and hope to start testing these by the end of the year.
