Well, I did it! I got my Richmodel Yak 50cc out on her first flight this morning. Got the DL primed, popped and pulling. All up she's in at 21 lbs. The DL is idleing at 15-16 and I'm keeping it at 69 for now. I got the blurb also but it might be my needles (haven't touch them yet).

You guys should've seem my thumbs. If it wasn't for bones, they would've shook right off hands.....

As for the bird... one click up elev and she was blurbing around the California skys. I have a Vess 22B up front. Seems to be working good, I wouldn't know the difference because this is my first gaser.
