Default MY US 60 FLEW TODAY!!

In the capable hands of our club instructor Jack it flew like all you experts said it should. Straight as a speeding bullet and always did what he told it to do. I was thrilled, only my second kit build. Retracts and flaps worked as they were supposed to. The new OS 61AX, still running rich as recommended, had the power to pull it vertical to maybe 300 ft. Plane weighed in at 7 lbs. 12 oz. (Heavy??)

My success with this build was very much due to the generous, kindly, and prompt guidance I received from RC Ken and MinnFlyer and others. I appreciate their help more than I know how to express!!

I hope someday to progress to where I can fly it myself but that's a long way off. I've yet to master my SIG Kadet MK II. I landed it today on it's nose and only slightly cracked the FG engine cowl.
Well, tomorrow is another day.
