Finaly folks, after delay from the insurance company and delay from the German authorities and delay from the weather, I finally got the little Pitts in the air yesterday.
After 5 fast taxi's down the strip under the watchfull eyes of the owner who stood by the runway, those majic (and ever so slightly nerve racking) words came over the radio! 'Go fly her now'!
Wow, what a blast! Light, very responsive and reminds me of a winch launch in the climb! Tooled around out of the circuit for half an hour then braved the the enevitable and made 3 landings (not at the same time I must add)! the last was the icing on the cake! Sweeeeeeeeeeet!
Looking forward to the next flyable day.
Thanks to all for their help on here, another hooked pitts rookie.
