First DE flown in Australia
« on: October 01, 2015, 11:15:47 PM »
We got to fly the DE today - did a run down a 2 mile runway about a 1 mile hop @ 200ft - flight went well, handled perfect
Lacking some power in the engine - have to look at that but "Happy As " how it flew

Cheers

Very good!  I know it took longer than planned for you to sort out all the details for this first flight.  After you get the engine running good you'll be ready to get some altitude and make some turns.
