Default RE: 4* 40 construction issue

it's a floater...
practice taxi on ground without the wing to get the feel of the tail drag.
it would also be a good time to re-inspect for loose screws

sucks to spend time building and not to be the first.
but me knees be knocking too much.
i usually don't do the frist flight on all my planes.
this way, i can focus more on the integrety of the plane
and making sure everything is the way it's suppose to be.
my instructor will trim, stall test, tune the engine and recommend
any control throws. Do evasive manuvers if need be.
