After starting at a new job at the beginning of May, I had much less time to work on building the F-104, so I gave it to a friend who finished it. He performed the maiden flight this past weekend, and according to him it flies great! Apparently it is terrifying to land, and the wingtips are so low to the ground that they break off if you run off runway, but otherwise it is straight forward to fly and has fairly gentle if fast stall characteristics. He has some minor repairs to make, but I'll post pictures and maybe video next time I see him at the field and can get them.
