Finally got the 'New Plane" in the air...

... even though conditions were not ideal, due to wind. I took it to the city maintained field west of town, a long drive. It turned out to be tail heavy, but not by a lot. I got a brief flight out of it and landed it safely on the paved runway. I used the yellow "sport wing" in the background of the pic below, and even with that wing it turned out to be a floater. So I can safely fly this in my local park. I can either add more nose weight next time or put in a few clicks of down trim. Trim adjustment will be the easiest course. So I'll have another report on this cobbled together job soon. Meanwhile I've flown my usual aircraft and I ordered the Delta Ray from Hobby Zone.
