Yet another fantastic job John and well flown Dave. Is there no stopping this team? I look forward to seeing it fly sometime soon.

Great job! I love unusual aircraft.

Looks like flycatch bailed out after the flak.

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

That glue old flycather was talking about must be between his ears

Congratulation on the successful first flight!

regards Martin

Looking forward to your P111.

"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.

BRAVO !!!!!! Fantastic engineering feat !!

I have a couple of nice flying shots taken by Colin Straus

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.

John

No video or flying shots sorry.

Well done again John, a quite incredible technical achievement.
