And it fliies!!!!! Big, and not too fast, majestic is the word Chris used  Smiley

One time it went by and I said "it's not too noisy is it?" Chris replied "Can't hear it over Al's heart beating  Cheesy

Minor problem with the worm gear on the front retract limited it to one flight, but no question it can handle a grass field..

Well done Al!!    Margaree Night Raa Raa

Now that my blood pressure had gone back down, I'm pretty happy with the way it flys. If it hadn't been for the flameout on the maiden, it would have been a non-event. 

I hope to bring it to Margaree.
Hoping to bring it to Windsor on sunday.

Had it out again on Sunday and again I'm having problems with the nose gear.  The Turbinator is a no pressure jet, very well behaved so far. As for the nose gear, well  it's out of there and an other one will replace it.

Great to read that it flies as well as it looks.  Congrats Al.

I'll be very interested in learning the cause of the problem with the nose gear.  Retracts are so very cool....too bad they are also sometimes problematic.
