First flights.

I waited 24 hours until I started to final assemble the two planes. Everything was pre made or drilled except fot the fuel tanks. I had a 6 ounce round Sullivan tank and put it on the Nomad with the S/T .51 engine. I borrowed a 4 ounce Du-Bro tank for the Oriental. I had a set of wheels for the Oriental but had to make a tail wheel out of a dowel. I knew the Oriental wing has a twist and it showed up right after takeoff. I tweaked the flaps and that helped but I put a tab on the outer wing when I got home. I also put the APC 11.5 x 4 prop back on as it needs some nose weight. The Nomad flew good as it was not a new build. The engine didn't run that well but did have plenty of power. The conversion to glow power created a tail heavy condition which I countered with an APC 12 x 5 prop over the wood prop and a stock Evolution muffler over the tongue muffler. That switch created some drilling as the muffler mounting holes didn't line up with the engine holes. Both planes are readuy for another trimming session.
