I put her in the air today, got 3 flights in. The Beaver flys great. My first flight was a non event, with 1click down elevator, 1 click left aileron. I checked the stall up high , she mushed staight and forward. I landed without flaps with a lil speed, a pretty wheel landing.
I dialed in some ele-flap mix for the second and third flight. She come in low and slow. The ZDZ runs excellent, I have about 3/4 gallon thru it, and sounds great with my special fabed muffler, I like em loud. I am very satisfied with the plane and engine.
My custom landing gear is solid as a rock, aluminum construction, tig welded. 6" Dubro tires give it plenty of cushion. I did raise both ailerons up just a tad, making turns, banking a lil better.

I am ready to go to the next project Cutiss Hawk and P-47 and bigger Cap232.

So I am going to sell The Beaver, probably put her in the want ads this week, I still havent done anything with the floats yet or decals. But she is built rock solid.
