Hi Guys,

Maidened mine yesterday - and am pleased to say everything went fine. I have an MVVS 1.60 glow with an 18x6 prop on straight fuel. Dry weight is 11.5lbs. There seems to be plenty of power in reserve, although I didn't try anything too hairy with it. Just wanted to get it trimmed first. It only needed 2 clicks of up elevator and a click if right aileron for level flight. Landing was a breeze, 1/4 throttle and let it lose height then flair about 3 feet up to a 3-point landing.

Posted a couple of pics in reply to the ART thread but can't upload them here (for some reason).

If you have any questions on the plane, I'll be happy to answer as best as I can.

Pete
