Uh, don't look now but somebody stole your wheels. Seriously, nice looking plane. Good luck on your maiden.

RE: Oh no its sunny and 1 mph wind and im off work
Well went to the field and had nothing but engine trouble, so after alot of tinkering and most of the day gone had a reliable engine in the bipe for maiden.
A far better pilot than me took her up and I would like to say she flew great with a click here and there but the first few minutes were but clenching for me watching the plane bob up and down and roll by itself.
Good news though after a bit triming she was flying straight and true and flight report was all good, the landing was sweet and made to look easy with no nosing over even with stock landing gear position. Im sure this was due to the pilots vast experience in flying bipes I may not fair as well. Think I am really going to enjoy this plane.
I did not have a shot as my nerves were shot just watching and the roll rate was a bit fierce for my ability, will add expo as it was flying with none and I am used to expo in all my planes.
Was going to get pictures and a video of the flight but found myself busy all day, maybe next time. Did get one pic before maiden.
