Flight testing is its own reward (sometimes):

I know I'm cross-posting the same thing between sub-forums, but I'm pretty pleased that I'm climbing the learning curve.
Like most French women, she can be difficult to get into bed the air, but once she's there it's nothing but fun. Of course getting her out of bed the air and her feet on the floor can be kind of tough, too.

Ok I just watched the take off in test flight #2, that was some Chuck Yeager recovery "stuff" right there! Awesome job!

Fantastic, that it a wonderful plane, you're a very lucky guy.
That Farrow bloke you executed today, are you sure he's dead? Well I chopped his head off, that usually does the trick. Yes, don't get clever with me Baldrick. I just thought you might have lopped off a leg or something by mistake. No, the thing I chopped off had a nose.

Always take sides. Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim. Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented. Elie Wiesel. Romanian born Jewish writer, professor, political activist, Nobel Laureate, Holocaust survivor. 1928 - 2016.
Indeed the safest road to Hell is the gradual one - the gentle slope, soft underfoot, without sudden turnings, without milestones, without signposts. C.S. Lewis, 1898 - 1963.
Congrats, Dart! Great job! Take off #2 reminded me of some I've seen on RoF on-line servers.

What's funny about that is when things went seriously sideways I wasn't the least bit scared - I'd seen that sight picture on takeoff about a zillion times before; I was more concerned about the landing.
I couldn't tell my observer that, though - I think he'd of thought I was nuts to say that it wasn't anything unusual.

Tell the Hun that! I'm actually in serious trouble, as there is a Fokker DVII being built 80 miles north in Huntsville and another already patrolling over Montgomery 60 miles south of me.
And I've got to protect the Birmingham salient with just my little Nieuport 11.
After next flight I'll be looking at mounting the gun.
