Default First Flight
We towed the plane to the airport at 9:15 on 4/6/2014, at 10:00, it made it's first flight. Here is the needed first flight pics and maybe video's, if it work. The only issue is the fuel gauges don't work, but the fuel flow was, so I flew. No heavy wing, it flew hands off.

Congrats again Bob. Solid plane, great paint and flies hands off. Exactly how it should be. Nice touch with the smoke! Put your pants on and let's see who is faster

Default HOLY SMOKE!
Beautiful airplane! Classy paint job. Cannot recall a low pass with smoke on previous first flight videos. Hope you informed your spotters of your intentions. Could cause some "angst".
