UPDATE! THE STAUDACHER FLYS! COMPLETE SUCCESS!!

Just got off the horn with Mr. Light, and the maiden flight of the monster 70% Staudacher was a success! With aproximately 40 people in attendance, Jared plugged in the external 12v power source for the starter, and fired her up! After a a few laps on the runway, John gradually added power, and the legendary Bob Sawyer Staudacher took flight! John flew about 10 laps around the field and brought her in for a gracefull landing which was met with an ovation of applause from the spectators in attendance!

On behalf of The FlyingGiants and our 20,000 members and friends, CONGRATS to Bob, John, and Jared on the successful journey!

The Boys are currently adding more pitch to the prop as they experienced some "lag" in the motor when applying power. They will be moving from 10degrees to 12, and weather permitting, will put on another flight within the hour. Other than that, John said the Staudacher flew VERY well, and light!

Photos and video will be on FlyingGiants this evening of the days events.

The very moment, pulling back on the elevator, and thinking its now or never can be appreciated by all of us, but what a rush for the pilot with this model. Maaaan........ Had to have been weak in the knees even after the trimming.
