- Christmas Day flight. She needs a tuneup but always a pleasure to fly. So scale.

Very nice video post. Thx for taking the time.
I miss flying scale. In my pre-teen years I built small, balsa wood, U-control (strings) model planes...0.49 engines, flat wing. My uncle was flying the F-4 Phantom in Nam at the time, but he also flew the P-51 in air-to-air combat and bombing missions starting in the late 40's. The P-51 was and still is my favorite (I probably built 4 or 5 of them). It was my first "Built-up" wing model I ever built. Boy....what a difference an actual "foiled wing" made!....Taught me a lot about what flies and what struggles to fly. By the time I was 14-15 I was building 60" wing RC, powered planes. (much later gliders) My uncle retired in 1976 (33 yrs. in). He knew I loved airplanes and later I took up golf....both of which were his 2 favorite activities. In 1980 (I was 21) he arranged for me to go up in Art Scholl's Pitt's Special, not with Art but with the only other guy (Ken, I think) allowed to fly his planes. It was my first time ever air-born. I was so excited I never even thought to be nervous or afraid...I knew this planes capabilities. Ken (after demonstrating them once) let my do rolls and loops (easy) but also Cuban 8's, hammer head's...etc. He kept laughing out loud saying he couldn't believe this was my first flight. I said " I've done all of these in my mind, finally a chance to do them in real life". Outside maneuvers were much more strenuous than I thought. A few years later my uncle took me flying in his Decathlon (he purchased to fly until he finished building his RV-4) and golfing once a week. He died at 85 in 2012. I miss him a LOT but those memories...... In 2015 I decided to get my pilots license (in his honor)....I took "flying" lessons first instead of ground school (for obvious reasons) and got to where I could solo....I had 4 kids and it was taking up a lot of my free time and $$$ so I put it on the shelf....for now. supersabresociety.com/biography/ewald-g-kruggel/
Very nostalgic
LOL, flew around the whole time with the flaps down ! lmao
Thanks for watching the whole flight!💪👊
Gorgeous plane but I wonder if the struggles with pitch are because of the flaps being half don the whole flight? I would double check the CG and get the flaps up after takeoff and also lean out the engine. Nice landing.
I should have explained that this flight I was trimming elevator mix to mid and full flaps. I can adjust during flight. CG is perfect. And yes she needed to be leaned out
engine is missing & why fly with flaps?
That's not a misfire.
Yes, she needed a little adjustment. I was trimming my flap mix to elevator both mid and full flaps. Thanks for watching and also your comment
wheres your 81" gas cessna flying
