Default RE: Too pretty to maiden?

looks good Brett!!!, how longs your runway? I think you'll do fine, I love to maiden a new plane. when I maidened my P-51 I had Parkinson's so bad my knees were knocking. once I had it up in the air I calmed down a bit, the problem at my field is how short the runway is (300ft of pavement) and the pony uses every bit of it plus a few to shut down. I don't have flaps though so that should help quite a bit. I now have 11 successful flights on it out of 12, the last flight was good but when she ran out of runway a weed jumped right in front of the plane and damaged one of the mains. but she'll fly again, just not at that field.

god speed and good luck!!!
