<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Actually Keith when I looked at them after the
flight they were pretty close to neutral, carrying just a bit of left aileron
and hard to tell with the elev as there's no reference point. I guess my
preflight wasn't as good as I thought.</FONT></DIV>

<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>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>So what *did* your hands off control surfaces
look like once you landed?</FONT></DIV>

TOO funny!</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>
