Very well done to both of you. I bet Dave was squatting low when he landed her.

"WOW", just watched the two video's of the flight, well done to John and his team for re-creating another quirky designed airplane from the past, and many congratulations to Dave Wilde who must have the biggest pair of brass ones and super bowel muscle control to fly these unknown types, "Gungadin" comes to mind here! great achievement, look forward to seeing your next project take off with the same success John.

The Arado has had its second flight today. It flew much nicer than the first flight. We increased elevator expo, removed 0.5Kg of lead and increased the aileron differential. We were comfortable enough to try the flaps and landed with them deployed. The landing was very gentle and controlled. Looking good now. All I have to do is get the retracts to work.
