Flew my scratch-built DH-2 on Saturday morning off the lake. I'm happy to report that she flies great. It really needs a pilot, but other than that it looked great in the air and would slow down to a crawl - all that drag I guess! I plan to fly it indoors at the Valley Gathering in a few weeks.

Wow Vic, this one is the best yet. What a pretty thing in the air! Well done!
And I'm assuming Mary made the excellent photos. You should sent an item on this one to Cato.

Thanks, guys.
Yes, Al, those are Mary's pics. She just got a new camera (a compact point and shoot, actually)that she really loves for taking action shots like these.

Hey Marc, I have just the escort for your Gotha! (Sorry, Glen...) I test flew this one on the weekend, too. Had to increase the size of the flying rudder to counter the adverse yaw in turns I was experiencing with the original design (which was already larger than scale, but evidently not big enough). It turns fine now.
