    Hi Pat,

    thanks for the comments about the floats...Paint and decals make THE DIFFERENCE...Altought, it's just cosmetic !

    Hi Pat, Thanks for the comment on the Oild check door. I bought it from this guy :

    http://www.mrrace.com/Products/index.htm website. Very nicely done and the fit was perfect. Cuts down the build time. I still had to adapt it somewhat.

    Nice 701 you got there too....

    Hope to fly soon. Regards,

    Norm

    Hi Pat,

    Thanks for the kind words !

    After the disappointment of the first trial flight I wanted to recheck everything. The new radiator is just marvelous. Everything stayed in the GREEN for the whole flight. I didn't think we were going to fly that long but just enjoyed ourselves too much to stop...Almost an hour when we decided to stop. I have to get used to the rudder because the 701 needs to be piloted with coordinated inputs (aileron+rudder).

    Otherwise, we're getting to know each other now...

    Regards,

    Very happy builder/pilot

    Hi Pat,

    Thanks for your comment! Placing the Viking View in a more prominent position does make sense.

    Best Regards,
