1st Flight Today at 5:pm

[Fastglasair]

I made the 1st flight today of my Glasair G1-RG. I can't believe it has no roll
tendencies or other rigging issues at all it flies hands off. I flew for 1/2
hour but the landing was not great, something to work on!! I started building
19 years ago this coming May. It climbs like crazy, Home sick angle as they
say. I will post some photos and maybe some digital video, later tonight or
tomorrow.

Congratulations! A fantastic accomplishment. Here's to many hours of

Huh! You must have built it pretty straight.
Excellent job!

Now take it up, and slow your bad self down.

Do half an hour of slow flight, straight and level,
climbs, decents, and approach to stalls.

Early on, most people try to ;land way too fast.
