Default RE: Actually Almost Ready to Fly

Put it together yet? Not it, but it's brother.

I've got a flying buddy that's having some pretty serious health issues. I recently got the CALMATO for a real deal. It's the highwing version of the Calmato Sport. It builds the same way as the low winger. He and I buddy box 'cause he's losing his sight and can only see so far. And got one or two other things that have hit him that normal people would consider problems, but he doesn't. So high wing'ers make better models for us. And the Sport looked so good that I figured the high wing was just the ticket for us. So I worked a deal so we'd have one.

He and I picked the box up Saturday but couldn't start on it until Tuesday. We did about 3 or 4 hours on it Tuesday and about all that needed to be done we got done Wednesday in about an hour. It went together great. We flew it today.

Here is a picture taken on it's first flight.

(I was showing him how steady the sucker flew...... It does.)
