OS 160 version

Guys,

I got a test flight in last night at dusk 30 last night. I had the wrong prop but I went for it. Even with a 16 - 4W I gave it 25% power then around 40% power and off the ground it went.

Took her above 150' and rolled her left. Leveled out the wing and let go of the sticks at 40% power. She was perfect with a full tank of fuel.

I broughter her down only after 2 passes and she did not want to come down. So I gave it 25% power and banked sharp left and she did just that. Pulled power on a wide turn and let her glide in on a very slow idle.

I can only say WOW! Flights light like a hugh foamie. If the weather man is wrong I plan to get some video and push the plane today at our club picnic. Right now I am glad I did not put a heavy gas motor in her.
