Maiden flight on February 5, 2011

Le décollage:
In 3S, a flick is enough, the acceleration is immediate and the glider leaves without having to launch it. After a few meters flat for safety, the climb is vertical and the flight altitude is reached in a few seconds.

In flight:
The trajectories are tense and the flight is fast. Unfortunately, I did not activate the engine brake and the propeller did not fold. Difficult under these conditions to judge the qualities in gliding. It will be for the next flight. Despite all a few loops and barrels show that this glider is lively and stirring.

Landing:
Classic procedure: runway alignment and long, flat finish. No worries.
