Flew the Ryan today, finally got the carb problems worked out, put a McDanials onboard glow driver on and got it into the air. It had to be trimmed a little but what a sweet flyer. Tracks like it is on rails and holds it attitude even in a stiff wind. Comes in for a nice easy landing, if anything it wants to float so much you have to fly it down and put the wheels on the ground. It does lose some altitude if you start doing barrel rolls but it recovers nicely. The stall was amazing, it just flattened out and started flying again, the nose never dropped below horizontal. I flew without the cowl in case I had to do some tuning and it flew flat and level with no throttle so I guess I'm going to have to take the weight out of the cowl that I epoxied in when I set it up. No big deal and three less ounces to haul around.
