On my FW-190. Seemed to handle fine on the ground, and I had two other guys backing me up on the trims, plus everybody turned out to watch. No pressure there, eh? Tracks very nice and straight down the runway, but as soon as it lifted off it headed right twoards the trees. Came back fine, heart restarted, and gained altitude and trimmed 'er out. Flew a bit, did some slow stuff and stalls, then in for fairly uneventfull landing. Had MAJOR butterflies in my stomach when taxing out, but as soon as I hit the throttle and started concentrating on flying, all gone. Came back after it was on ground but not as bad. Too bad that was the only landing I made under power with it all day... all the rest were deadsticks (new engine, not tuned quite right yet).


Even got the gear up on the second flight..... it really looked good, love that 4 stroke sound.
