First Flt - Sentinel R Mk 1
The first ASTOR aircraft - Sentinel R Mk 1 ZJ 690 - had a succesful maiden flight yesterday (27 May 04) from Major's Field in Greenville, Texas, USA. It was airborne for about 4 hrs 20 mins - and all the feedback is very good indeed. The company test pilot's initial impressions were completely positive and they had nothing but praise for the way it handled. There's still a lot of work to be done before the ASTOR system is fully introduced - but the first flight is a huge milestone in any project and is certainly something to be pleased about - (which would perhaps explain why I've got the second worst hangover I've ever had in my life).

Hooley,
Good news mate! I guess the pilot would have given positive feedback as he was probably too scared that you'd beat him up if he didn't!
Incidentally, when is the Sentinel JATO UOR getting its RTS so that you can start flying on it?
