Well excited - maiden flight.....

[cambs flyer]

With any luck she's got the weather we have in Chatteris right now, glorious.

Hopefully as I write she's having a scream with that corking piece of kit.

She flies!!!
Thanks to Ade for his patience and time in getting her in the air!
Also thanks to everyone else for their help and encouragement, and loan of a decent battery...
Sadly I didn't get to fly - a screw came loose in the carb - eagle eyed Pete spotted that just as I was firing her up - could have been nasty . Need to get the motor out to get to the screw.
Roll on next weekend, or Friday if I'm allowed out!!
Stand by Fast Lads for those last few bits I need to be a fully independant flyer!!

Yeah, that could have been nasty if we hadnt noticed. Also, lucky not to lose the screw as its such a small part but probably a P.I.T.A. to get hold of! I had one come out of the original TT50 engine once. Luckily at low level as the whole throttle barrel came out in one!

Weathers looking rubbish this week Jase but hopefully you will get your pride and joy in the air next weekend.

Dont forget to locktite that retaining screw!
