Around noon we went to the Oneco field and set up to fly the Parallax. I bench trimmed it as best I could but left off the tip weight. The needle was way off and the backfire loosened the prop which made me remove the spinner nose. I had 2 ounces of fuel in the tank and got the engine started. It proved to be a little slow but the plane was nice and steady in level flight and the outboard wing was high inverted. I put in .8 ounces of tip weight when we got home. The flaps may need tweaking also. All in all I'm happy with the way it flew on the first flight.
