Yayyyyyy,

It flew twice today and has come home with the legs still attached.

Stuey flew first time round, being my official under 20Kg flight tester and I flew it second time.

No real drama's, just the engine isn't still quite right. Its great on the ground but four stroking in the air. Its just a tweaking thing I hope.  :xx :xx :xx

Ran out of time today, so re-tweaked on the ground ready for next time.

Stuey likes flying it and he wll be along later with some piccies and a video.

Thanks for your help again Stuey  :af :af :af

(We both had a very busy mornings flying this morning)

What on holiday AGAIN. You have more holidays than Father Christmas  :nananana: :nananana: :nananana:

On a more serious note, thanks everyone. I am feeling pretty chuffed with things at the moment. If you listen to the video you will hear the motor is not quite on song, and that's at full throttle.

We have leaned her out a little more on the top end. I don't like twiddling to much in one go, so 1/8th of a turn at a time it is till it comes on song in the air.

Not going to tart it up, or re-spray it till its got a few flights under its belt, but we are getting there.

Going to finish this thread off now.

Had a cracking few flights with the Bearcat last weekend. Engine now sorted and singing away on a 19X10 quite happily.

No video but a couple of stills.





Its going for a paint job in a few weeks. Nothing fancy, in fact it won't change much just be nice and clean and all the same colour again.

I have to get on with the Wyvern now.
