The day I've been waiting for forever.  I finally get to fly my own plane.  Alan took it up first and tested it out.  We were initially concerned about a C.G. problem.  Although it balanced perfectly when I built it, it seemed a little tail-heavy today (even with 8 fl. oz. of fuel up front) but a little trim and elevator linkage adjustment, it all worked O.K.  I flew it a little bit after Alan took off, then he landed, and I took off and flew some more.  I will try out landing on my next time. 

Alan lays down his plan of action.
