FIRST TAIL UP RUN at

Today I got to make 4 or 5 runs down the runway. This was the last one. It's a little hard to tell when it raised. The tail came up at 1:24 and stayed up till 1:35. If you look at the tree line at the right side of the video, you can see it is sloped down to the right. When the tail lifted, you see it level out. The video appears to look like I am swerving side to side, but it wasn't that drastic at all. It was a good first tail up run.

This first flight is going to be amazing. You should be proud of all of your work. So excited.

Some one needs to volunteer to film the first takeoff when Dons (Sean Connery) ready to get air born 😊

Aah, the sign of a true pilot. I don’t have any money, I’m always broke. It’s called love of aviation.

[@WHBVERDE69]

Cool to see another driver who loves aviation. Love the Corsair! I can't wait to see the maiden!

Congratulations and with your patience what I mean by patience that you're taking your time and making sure everything's right

[@Airsally]

I flew down to KGKJ yesterday and saw you running down the runway. I'm glad I was able to find you here. Hope you the best on the maiden flight.

[@warbirdflyerF4U]

Great job done glad to see the progression and modifications are working to your liking 😊 Hopefully you're comfortable enough to give her a test fly soon 😊

[@bbayerit]

Well done, Don! Step-by-step progress results in success when you're ready.

First CONGRATULATIONS ON high speed taxi test. Was watching you talk and noticed a wing nut that if your head slammed back. Ouch

[@spencerhauck690]

We are definitely getting closer to see this thing fly. I can't wait.

Thanks for bringing me (the 550th like & 162nd commenter) along for the tailwheel lift! BRAVO ZULU, Don!

[@shocktrooper8443]

Keep going... she'll fly right and true when you finally maiden out & up! Fun fact: The first time I rotated my Sonarai, the tail didn't just lift up, the entire plane lept off the ground! Be ready for that.

[@Eaglejoc]

So amazing and loving the progress, hope it keeps going fairly smoothly and cant wait to see you airborne!

[@1hornet1]

Cool deal Don! Thanks for sharing your progress!
