    Subject: The FireFly flies! (And it flies EXXCELLENT!)
    From: "Richard Pike" <thegreybaron@charter.net>
          
      
      Took it to the field of a friend, 3,000' grass strip (!) I flew it twice this morning,
      took off, climbed to 30', flew it down the runway and landed. Went back
      this evening to fly it some more, David & I both flew it for a total of 11 times,
      a bit over 2 hours. Burned 2.5 gallons of gas. 
      The 277 seems to be plenty of power, but IMO it vibrates a bit much. Maybe I am
      spoiled by 2 cylinder engines...
      Performance is ideal for an ultralight, cruises at 54 mph at 4900 rpm, climbout
      at 45 indicated at 7-800 fpm. Should have gone ahead and put the requisite trim
      tab on the right aileron, and then it would have been trimmed right to start
      with. Will do that tomorrow.
      Extremely pleased.

      Forgiving is tough. Being forgiven is wonderful.

      Sorry hit the wrong button....   I have seen a mk 3  that wanted to roll
      right on first flight,,,  one wanted to roll left....   And a third
      required no trim
