Congrats on the successful maiden! She really looked great!

Congratulations on such a successful maiden! She looked majestic and stable as she lapped the field.

I'm thinking you are either holding back on the throttle to hide your true speed or maybe your looking to win the endurance race. Yes?

I was at about 75% throttle most of the time. Full throttle for a little bit of it. It is a very scale flier. Some would consider it under powered. The full scale was not all that fast, so I am happy with the results. I'm aftraid it wouldn't get very far in the endurance race.

Congrats! It's fun to read through this thread in a day and be rewarded with a great maiden video at the end.

You're not planning on competing for the Bixler trophy? I think you should.

Either way it's a sharp build with a powerful retro look.

She looks nice and scale in the air. Congrats!!! I'd love to see her at FTFF this summer!

Awesome! Can't wait to see it in person. It's gonna be hilarious to see your 10ft Trimotor dwarf my 4ft C-17.

Looking forward to seeing your C-17 also.

2nd Flight video

 

[Swimjim]

Really awesome. I wish I could see it fly in person! FF is not an option for me...

 

[TooJung2Die]

Spectacular. Impressive. There aren't enough superlatives. It looks so realistic in flight.:applause:

 

[JimCR120]

Smooth! Congratulations!

Absolutely outstanding!

 

[wilmracer]

That shot really puts it in perspective! That is one big, beautiful bird :applause:

 

[AkimboGlueGuns]

Are you going to make it look more like a real airliner or keep it silver? The blue trim on the FS versions look pretty good.

 

[Userofmuchtape&glue]

A real airliner? How dare you! that damn thing looks more real that the real one!
