Congratulations on a successful first flight and a beautiful build. The crappy wx is also limiting my phase one flying over here on the Eastern Shore.

A month of rigging and extra eyes paid off. She flies hands off, wings level and ball in the center.

The only two issues are the horrible weather conditions keeping me on the ground, and my amazingly rusty landing ability.

Keep building and fly your own rocket ship. It is well worth the effort.

Carl,
I bet it flies as good as it looks.
Paint?
Keep it shiny "Wizard"
