First flight.

We headed to the field around 1400 today. The weather had eased a bit and the wind and rain were less. I had the P-40Q ready to fly and got the engine started after a bit of haggling. I only put in 1.5 ounces of fuel as I didn't know what to expect. The plane is stable in level flight and turns corners quite well. The second flight saw several of the pattern maneuvers performed and I called it a day after that. I made a change to the elevator travel at home to tame it a bit. The home made muffler leaks and a lot of oil was left on the wing. I looked on the Brodak web site and found one that will fit and hopefully provide a better seal.  The Evo .52 has plenty of power for the plane.
