SparrowHawk has left the nest

[StanFoster]

I received my airworthiness certificate yesterday and today I took my SparrowHawk up for its first legal flight.

Ron....you were right....I had it up in Febuary....far earlier than I thought myself. I guess you know me quite well.

It handled like a dream......

I set my electric trim to any speed I wanted to fly at....and just let go of the cyclic.

My rotor is not real smooth...but I will fine tune it later. Right now I am just getting the feel of it.

[StanFoster]

Thanks guys. I havent hardly noticed the five months going buy without flying. I really enjoyed seeing this SparrowHawk coming together. I almost miss it in my shop...but it belongs in the hanger. I will exercise it regularly. I am going to chop at those 40 hours......


John: I dont know about ROC. I have always wanted to go to that one and El Mirage.

Stan M'man, great stuff,

Ya know, with all the sunshine radiatin' from within that machine, it's no wonder it didn't turn those brown fields to green, for those first photos, anyway.

Congratulations.


Cheers

Ron, a tail shot from a SparrowHawk with the doors on is a little challenging!
