Hello... well today was the day i took the Buzzard Bombshell 72" out for it's first flight. I've never had a chance to fly a plane before so i didn't really know what to expect! I did 6 flights in total and only had to deadstick land once as the engine died on landing. This plane is very sensitive to input controls more so than i had thought. On the first flight the trim for the stab seemed to be really out so i adjusted it for straighter flight. When i brought i back in for refueling i noticed how far the trim had moved the stab. I'm not sure if this is too tail heavy as it wants to climb all the time. CG seems to balance just fine though.
Anyway, i'm happy with the effort i put into it this past winter. it came to me unfinished with broken wings, fuselage, etc. from all the years of storage. it's nice to see it flying finally!
here are some before and after shots...


thanks again for this forum and great info.!
