Well I'm up flying the Dromader now. Nice plane and much lighter on the controls then I was thinking it was going to be (as long as you keep the trim in check). Its not all that hard to start if you have a good idea how things work. I did 4 hours dual in our two seat M-18. Then went up solo for the first time today in what is going to be my plane for the season. Its quite different to land then the two seater. I'm sure its due to the aft C of G in the other plane. Has anyone ever seen or flown another 2 seat Dromader?

I'm all smiles today after watching it exceed 2000fpm on the vsi at 100mph. Sure is nice to have that much power at your disposal. Although I'm sure it wont feel just as nice when I put 2000L of water in it later this week.

Off to burn some time and fuel, Cheers.
