CMP AT-6 First Flight
Put the first and second flight on my CMP T-6 yesterday, what a great flying airplane! Power is a Saito 1.80 with a 17-8 APC on 10 % Cool Power. Retract are Robart 510's. I have not weighed the airplane. On the first flight, the only trim needed was two clicks of right aileron. With the Saito it is pretty fast, yet slows down nice for landings. It took full elevator to induce a stall. When it did stall the right wing would drop. Really looks great in the air!

RE: CMP AT-6 First Flight
Hey Brian,
Just about to finish mine soon. I'm using the 510's in mine as well. I guess you used the 3/16" wire with robostruts over it? I'm using an OS 1.60. Had a Saito 1.80 in mind but couldn't get it to fit. How did you manage it? Any pictures?

Ray, the 1.80 was a tight fit. I had to notch the bottom of the fuselage for the muffler. I am using 3/16 wire on the landing gear. I will post some pictures, as soon as I take some.
