Hey Boet. She is looking very nice.

Are you really expecting amost 100mph with a 582. Hope you achieve that.

Been battling to log on for a while, but tailspin sorted that out today.

Hope your first flight goes better than planned.

Regards.

The weight is right so she will fly very well on the 582. If she is a LSA at 600kg she carries more then her own weight. Very few aircraft can do that..

Howzit Boet.

Just love the reflection of the vertical stab on the tail wing, really great paint job.

First flight soon ?? or has she felt the gentle breeze under her wings yet.

Nice and light, should fly bright.
