I was there today and I can tell you Rick (J3FAN) had him up and away in short order. I'm surprised he didn't post something here this evening. He took the sticks for the first time and...in a near gale force wind, flew really smoothly. I was impressed...reminded me of me, LOL! Anyway, the avistar needed only a few clicks of up elevator and it was flying nice. The engine was without problems too. Purred like a kitten. John...you did a good job! I look forward to tracking your progress, which should be pretty quick. Rick had me landing after my fifth flight, and I'm sure you will come along nicely too.

I met Dukester too. Had fun watching him play in the wind. I'll see you guys again real soon.
