We flew the airplane for the first time Saturday the 10th of July around 6:00 P.M. Once we took part in the wonderful picnic that Prof. Jadud provided us it was time to walk the airplane down to the west end of Robertson field. The airplane was noted to be slightly tail heavy in a pre-flight inspection, but the decision was made to continue with the maiden. The first three flights were rather unpleasant as the tail heavy condition was more severe than expected. Slowly weight was added between flights, and then the airplane was brought in for the evening. Damage was incurred on the nose gear as it was not robust enough to land with.
The plane was also flown twice on Sunday the 11th around 8:00 P.M. More weight was added to the nose, and the battery mount was modified to get it closer to the front of the airplane. Results of the modification and addition of weight prove to be successful as the plane flies much more stable.
