Well ... yesterday I did the maiden flight! All balanced and fueled up it weighs 32 lbs. I couldnt believe it would actually get off the ground at that weight but WOW .... it flew great! After 10 minutes of flying I lowered the gear, came around base to final and dropped the flaps. There was no terrible or even noticable pitch changes with the flaps deployed. Flew her on down close to the runway, flared and she sank right in nicely for a great landing! Even though I had shaking hands and knees ... WHEW ... glad that flight is out of the way. Taking it back out again this Friday.
