My aeroplane flew for the next time yesterday - a brief 15 minutes but she flew. I got an exited text from my friend followed by an email that evening -
"HI went like a rocket and flew straight and level, engine seemed very responsive and free revving, trimmed back for the approach the balance was just right (unlike.. most metal wingers), in fact, unusually I will have to adjust the trim to give a little more bias to nose down."
I don't know which of us were more excited, me or Pete. I'm hoping to go over and see it next week. It'll be a while yet before she's on these shores and there's still plenty of planning and preparation to be done. Going out this evening to sort out some hangarage hopefully.
What an adventure this is going to be.
