  • Test flight number 1
    It wasn’t pretty weather today but we travelled to the newly designated LMA test flight facility at Carmarthen Model flying club to complete its test flight program.
    managed to get 2 test flights in with Heinkel ducking in an out of the wet stuff.
    Finally a small break in the weather and she lifted off and climbed into the air. What a sight it was.
    Flew an absolute dream and way surpassed my expectations. It’s been along old slog getting it this far but it’s worth it to see if fly again.
    Few things iron out but well pleased with the flights so far. Fingers crossed next week we can get the remaining flights in for sign off.

      Thank you 🙏 appreciate your kind words. It’s always the unknown on the first couple of flights but the first pass for landing she settled down really well so it gave me enough confidence for the second pass to land and it was perfect. Thanks for watching. I’ll have more videos coming soon on the remaining test flights. 🤛
