A group of intrepid mud-sloggers gathered this morning at Elkins Field (1/2” of rain last night) to witness the maiden flight of Bob’s swap-meet Kyosho “Spitfire” with a DLE 20 up front. The plane acquitted itself well, and Bob was pleased. A bit of tweaking to get the gear to fully retract and fiddling with the right flap/elevator combination is all it lacks to be ready for Abernathy and “West Texas Warbirds” in about ten days.
