Default RE: Sterling Tiger Moth build

Second test flight went better then the first. I got her off the ground and once around the field! It was much better with the new prop. Maybe there was more power in the batteries also, not sure about that. But she flew nose high and the ailerons were ineffective. It took me a few seconds to understand that I needed to use the rudder for turning. I almost lost her a few times, but managed to get her back on the ground in one piece! I didn't fly again because there was a breeze and it was kicking my ass. However, I will call it a successful 2nd maiden and go from here. Comments and suggestions are appreciated. Rick
