Stingray Maiden Flight Report. UPDATE!
Did a couple of hours of car today and went to St-Foy club (Quebec) to do the Maiden flight. A more experienced jet pilot (Gilles Pelletier) did it for me.
It was on a grass field, not a golf green but not too rought. The Ray took of in about 300-350' a little of aileron and more elevator than it should. We found that it need about 1/8 up elev, probably not enough reflex in the wing. The plane is FAST and it dont slow down easily. We got upper tank prob and the engine went out gear up and land on high grass with no damage.
So now i have too check my plumbing and i will add speed brake on rear strut to help the plane slowing down.
I wish we could do a second flight to see how fast this thing go! Gilles didnt exceed 1/2 thortte and it was fast on straight and level flight.
More to come next week!
