Thanks, Silvaire, Jan and vanHorck. The maiden flight was performed by a very experienced professional pilot. I was behind the camera as my 59 hours TT do not suffice for experimental test flying.
The amounts of work, money, and determination that went into such a project must be gigantic.
This is very true. It took a couple of people about ten years to build this one. Also rebuilding a WW1 engine and getting it to run reliably has proved quite a challenge.
The flight went perfectly and we're very pleased with the result. There are no adjustments to make whatsoever.
