Thanks for the compliments guys!
She's all done!! 23 oz dry weight. Balances perfectly with the 700 mah battery against the firewall. Our flying field is closed along with all the parks, so will have to wait for maiden until the restrictions are lifted. I'm happy how it came out. Hopefully it will fly well Maybe tomorrow I'll fire up the G-mark and make a short YouTube clip. Paul. |

I fired up the little G-mark today, 10% nitro with a little extra castor oil added. She fired right up and ran very well for a small engine. She's a bit messy since the muffler doesn't seal well but I expected that. Now I just wait until the field opens.

Maiden is behind me! Well, somewhat
So I still can't legally fly in my club here in NYC I found a large area suitable to give it a shot. Good news is I landed it in one piece, bad news I didn't get the full flight on film. I panicked and for some reason I yelled to my son to stop filming There were three reasons for the poor flight. The engine was a couple of clicks too rich, ailerons had too much throw, and the elevator was not centered. The last part is my fault for not checking it. The plane was nose diving when I let go the stick. I have corrected the issues now. I am looking forward to my next day out, I know it will fly a lot better. Again, sorry for the poor video, maiden 2.0 should go a lot better Paul.
