Yesterday, 10/16/15, Waiex #165 successfully completed it's first flight! The airplane flew really well with very little trim to be required. The flight was really uneventful. Thanks for all of the help on this site as it definitely made the build process easier. I'm looking forward to flying Phase 1 and completing the finish!

I sound a bit like a Robbie echo on that last post! I have since watched the video. That Hummel 2400 sounds great!

Congrats Sean! The plane looks great!
Which airport do you base the plane? You're not far away!
