<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Tim, you're an uncommonly honest man. I think Gray
Fowler would agree that we're all quite tired of hearing "it only needed one
click of right aileron and it flew perfectly." Your first flight story was
much more interesting <grin>. Glad you got the plane back on the
ground safely.</FONT></DIV>

like once you landed?</FONT></DIV>

the price?? </DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Weather was not perfect but nearly so for the
first test flight of my new airplane. OS is running good after 3 tanks on
the ground and everything moves in the proper direction when the sticks
are disturbed so off to the flying field we go. Take off run is uneventful
and at about 4' the airplane takes a right turn and a nose down
attitude with a vengeance, what the *&%*)%$(*^%$(*%^$*@ ? Ok Timmy
T FLY THE AIRPLANE forget the trims for now! FLY THE AIRPLANE don't
even think about those trims yet! FLY THE AIRPLANE !!!!! whew
!!!!!!!! Ok at about 500' I can finally get to the trims and
do some trimming, about 15 beeps of up and about 10 beeps of right aileron
and I forget how many beeps on the rudder. OH MAN!!!!!!!! I have WAY too
much control authority on all surfaces!!! Ok flip to low rate, ok that's
better. Still a bit too much on low rate and I REALLY need some expo
on everything. OK now we're at about 600' and got the airplane almost to
where I can let go of the sticks without scaring all the ground hogs to
death! Who the heck is that hollaring at me? Oh it's the field saftey
officer telling me I'm above the 400' height limit and I need to come
down some. )*&%$*&%#*^^)% after a few choice words about his
mental status of his buttocks He left until the flight was over. Ok fly
around a bit and get the feel of the airplane, nice role to inverted,nice
snaps even a few knife edge loops, ok time to land and check the airplane
and my shorts. Man this airplane slows down nicely! Plant it right middle
of the runway dead center for a 10 and a short roll out and taxi
back to the pits. With a big sigh of relief I check the airframe all over
and nothings coming apart and seems good to go. Now let me find that
safety officer..........................</FONT></DIV>
