I only have camcorder grabs right now, and I hope James will have some nicer stills to show... but the bottom line is: she flew three hops today, and no major problems, just a couple of little squawks.
Phew... I have had my hands on every single part of his machine, including some very important ones... it was a relief to see thee safe, successful flights.
She passed the final inspection, weighing in a few pounds lighter than before, and Herb was very happy with her performance overall.
I flew backseat in the L3 "chase plane" for the first, then shot some more video from the ground for the next two.
The video isn't really still-worthy from the very first takeoff, but here's #2, where I had my feet on the ground and no L3 innards to obstruct me.
