I'm sure many of you are aware of my latest project (even if very few can pronounce it!!!....for the record it is....Lee Bel Loo Lah!)
Well, I can now say it has flown, twice! We went to Winterton last weekend (02/08/09) and despite a bit of trouble getting it to rotate initially....the model flew very well indeed (after we took out 2.5lbs of lead and loosened the main wheel nuts!)
It is still a bit 'spongey' on elevator, so a bit more testing with CG postion is needed but it looks more than promising so far......
I aim to get another 2-3 flights this summer and then strip it back down to cover it, make cowls, canopy etc.....
