Default RE: RCM Twin Trainer - First Flight

I had to push it back a week, but she flew! Man, what a cool sound with the two Super Tigers humming along! Lots of power too, she cruses along at 1/3 to 1/2 throttle nicely. I ran into a fellow club member with twin experience that helped me tweak the throttle linkages and get the low end together (and raise my confidence.) A few adjustments to the engine thrust and the wing incidence and she'll be flying straight as an arrow.

This is only my second plans built plane so now I have confidence that the first wasn't a fluke. Humm...what should I build next...

Here are some pics after the first flight.
