GWILLIE

I put in the maiden flight and another for good measure yesterday. We were flying between rainstorms, so I only got in these 2 flights. The Decathlon flies very nice! No more squirrely than any other taildragger I've flown. Both takeoffs were in cross winds, so there was some weathercocking; more on the first flight as I was ginger on the controls. Nice true loops; beautiful vertical flight into great looking hammerheads. Cuban 8s are a joy. Rolls are quick, even without much travel. Landings are a real breeze. The old 1973 Fox Eagle 60 pulls it around just fine, 1/2-2/3rds throttle most of the time. This is going to be a lot of fun this summer.
