These pics are in an erratic order.... but here they are. The day of the maiden we had a little extra air traffic to contend with.

Our field is actually a registered air strip. On this day ( of all days) we had about a dozen para-sailers (I think thats what they are called) to share the airspace with. But all worked out well.

A friend of mine had a Giles 202 to maiden, powered by a 1.60 os, just like my decath. We got them both done on Sunday, with two flights on each. A very good day indeed.

My second flight I decided to full up the smoke tank and give that a whirl. Worked out great!!! I might have to back off on the flow rate a bit but all in all I was very happy with it. As also I am happy with the 2 flights I got on the decath.

Feels good to finally have her done and in the hangar. I am very pleased with the end product. A very nice flying plane.... with hopefully many many days of enjoyment to come.

Congrats also on your maiden Dumo!
