We had an engine out 46min into flight one. That will get your blood pumping. Fuel line from the servo to the spider unscrewed itself…it now has torque seal on it.

I can try and report back :) Oddly enough, I don’t think they have very fast computing power, but my iPad is insane while running Foreflight, the data is spot on and FAST.

Kinda, for every 10 rivets we drilled out one to redo it if it wasn’t perfect.

Possibly, I’m scared to bring it there and have it get smoked by hail or some wild thunderstorm that always shows up.

Congrats!! This has been quite the adventure, everything from incredible joy to epic frustration. Building it with dad was the most incredible experience I’ve ever had. Career Marine attack pilot then airline pilot, I got to hear story after story about his epic flying career. 484 combat missions, 2 DFC’s, 34 Air Medals, he was a stud. Sadly he passed suddenly before the first flight and never got to see it in the air.

Had an engine out on flight 1, and I’m sure he was watching over us.

It’s a kit, I’m not smart enough to build a plane from scratch :)
