Our Seagull Zero finally took to the air yesterday. With one of the best pilots in our club on the sticks and the Magnum .91 4-stroke turning a MA 13-6 3 blade at just over 9000, she started down the runway and was airborne in less then 100 feet as the throttle was being pushed through the 1/2 position. A few clicks of trim and a couple of passes later the transmitter was handed over to my son.
The s--- eating grin on his face a few minutes later was a great reward for old dad. The first landing was a little rough but no damage, and later in the day we both soloed our first WW2 fighter plane. As others have already stated on these threads, this is a good flying airplane, it tracks through the turns very well, and slows right down and flys well at landing pattern and final approach speeds. Thanks to all who posted the good information here concerning CG and other issues, it all helped us to have a great day.

Best regards from old bird.
