Images below are from the first flight at Broken Bank in 2008. Sadly the flight was not a great success. The aircraft did not get enough speed at take off and nosed over heavily. Additional weight may be needed up front to make it more stable. Italready has more than the plan stated to give a slight nose down on the C of G.















The undercarrage sustained some severe damage as a result of the crash. It has now been repaired and is ready for its next flight!
