Congratulations on the successful flights of your Norseman. A milestone for the group.

Congratulations also to Lyndon on the described perfect landing. 
Yea 400W/lb should about do it.. But wouldn't a nice round 500 be better?

A copy of last night's report on the maiden that I put on the Norseman Build section:

Jack's Norseman's Maiden Flight:

- flew the plane twice today at the Bramal-E-Fly and it flew fine.
- the .46 has enough power to fly it.  Will try to prop it up a bit to get 5% more power to give it more climbing authority.
- needed a lot of left aileron correction (ran out of trim) for hands off flight.  Jack will remove some of the right thrust.  That should fix it.
- taxi control, rudder authority, elevator authority were just fine.
- needs rudder input to make a proper aileron turn.  Flies a bit like a Cub.
- landing control is fine, slow speed control is fine, greased landings are easy.
- very visible in the sky with the yellow colour.

Great build Jack.  Thanks for trusting your plane to a Dutchman.  Phew.... since it is still in one piece.
