I put my Lancair up for a maiden flight on Easter Sunday. Almost didn't because of the wind. The direction was not consistent and would gust more than I felt comfortable to maiden a plane in. I flew my 120 size Wild Stik for a while hoping that the wind would at least settle in to a steady direction... but no luck. I wanted to fly the Lancair in a bad way and with my brother egging me on I ended up taxiing around and a few times and couldn't help myself. I hammered the throttle and up it went. Man ... what a little rocket this plane is. I flew it around the circuit a few times and tried to trim it in some but couldn't find a smooth piece of sky. It would get knocked around a little in a gust but not as much as I would have expected. I ended up getting caught in a cross wind puff on landing. It rolled the plane over and down it went. The only damage was a broken prop and some pride. Because it landed on it's nose it did not harm the landing gear. My overall impression is that this plane is a well built ARF that will be fun to fly.

I'm heading out to the field today after work. I'll try to get some photos or vids.
