Hi guys:
Yesterday, December 3, 2007, my four+ year project left the ground for the first time as an airplane. It was only a baby step and we shut it down to check everything out after the first hop, but all looks good and first flight will take place when we get good weather again. Here's a video I took:

I can't describe how fantastic it feels to see your airplane fly for the first time even if it is just a hop.

Scot, Congrads! I know the feeling. What I can not understand is the control necessary to put such an obviously flying machine back on the strip after she really wanted to see the ground from a couple thousand feet. More control than I possessed. Great to see her flying, Best of luck, Bill of Georgia
