First Flight
So this evening, the rudder kit purchased on April of 2005 took its maiden flight. Of course there were a few more parts attached to it. The flight was uneventful even though I wound up with some electrical concerns. My COM stopped working.
A little elevator trim and then some Aileron trim.
The video attached is a short clip from my wife's phone, thus the rotation!! I'll get a first flight video shortly.
All one can say is you will never forget it!

Way to go, Richard!! I love your wife's reaction. I think mine will have a few more choice words when I get to that stage. Love the paint job!

Concur, the green car, + your green Zodiac, blend right into the green grass. Touch up paint for one Green Machine will work for the other.

Congratulations! Beautiful paint job. Took me forever to figure out iPhone orientation. I learned to keep menu button on right or bottom.
