Default RE: A109 PRE TEST FLIGHT

Thanks Steven, weather here good, misty, no wind, it's 9-30 am and I am going to put a battery through my 450 SEV2 to wake up my reflexes first. I have only been flying helis since August so it's a big deal for me. I have flown a bit of full sized fixed wing so control surface checks will come naturally. Hatches & Harness & all that! Thanks again for you kind thoughts.
Elgreco, she came ready painted almost up to SW standards, no tape, all nicely masked and painted. Intake meshing already installed, it's a nightmare drilling holes and cutting it all about for tail rotor etc, but so far so good.
Steven, the other thing I forgot was the tailskid so Ill have to be careful as the rotor diameter is lower than the tail fin, I have a sloped garden (small) so I will have to face uphill!
Regards to bothg,
Gary.
