Default Maiden flight...

Thanks for the replies. I flew the maiden flight Saturday. A great guy (Vinnie G) who taught me how to fly about 15 years ago, took up my Super Hots. I have been building this plane since about 1989 (not all building time of course) so I was a little nervous to take it up tht first time. It has the K&B 61 on it with a 12x6 prop. He trimmed it out for me and gave me the radio saying it "flies like a rocket!" I flew it around for a few minutes at just under 1/2 throttle, then he said, "give it some juice and hold on". I did... Did a pass at full throttle about 25 feet up, right outside the runway edge. It flew! Took it around landed and cleaned up. Called it a great day, thanked Vinnie and went home. I will post pictures as soon as they are developed.
