Hi All

Well I took the Pink Lady for my first flight and all I can say is except for the landing (The second landing was much better but naturally that is not on video :shock: ) she fly's like an (-)
I plan to be in the Air alot more vhpy vhpy
At first glance she cruises at 41MPH with Myself DH and about 30L of fuel.
She is a real lady. I think i am in Love (**) (**)

Thanks Ace & Grumpy

I still need to get used to the wing but She flies like a beauty, really an elegant lady.

Hi Extra300s

I must say she was in very good Nick, replaced all the fuel pipes and also placed a 50L tank inplace of the Small 20L ontop the Motor.
Other than that not much work needed - Mostly cosmetic stuff.
