Congratulations! Well done!

Thanks Craig,

Here is the landing. In fact that turned out to be the hardest to do
 as when you kill the power the huge prop blanks the tail surfaces
and you lose elevator authority.

BTW here is our new tail wheel made from a skate board wheel.

Paul, That landing looked pretty smooth even with the issue. How did
the controls feel other than that? Great job today. Ray Hellstrom

Dan says it is fun to fly. It has a better power to weight ratio
than any World War II fighter plane including the P51 and Spitfire.
They had 1500 HP and weighed about 7,500 pounds empty (P51).   The
Spitfire was 4500 pounds empty.

We have almost half the HP and weigh only 1000 pounds.

Dan say's when you poor a little power to it the nose points to the
stars.


Paul Lamar

Congratulations!
Good job!
