I did the maiden flight on Sinday afternoon. All I can say is this is one very nice flying War Bird. The take off was buestiful and the plane is very stable. The ESM retracts worked great and I am very glad I went with them I had a couple of issue in the flight. All of my batteries where mounted in the cowl and the reciever batteries came loss. I had them shrink wrap so they did not fall out they just hung under the cowl in flight, I also had the throllle arm come off of the carb. i guess I forgot to lock it down. I used the remount kill swict I had install and killed the engine and gilued down and landed in some tall grass at the end of our runway. One landing gear mount broke loss and that was all the damage. I have already repaired the mount and attached the batteries to the cowl again. This time they will not come loss. I plan the fly the Zero again this Tuesday. I got some video taken and I'll post it ASAP.
