Bravo Jack and Frank! The Norseman looks fantastic.
And big congrats to Linden on that super landing!

Congrats on your maiden Jack. Sorry I missed it.
Congratulations on the successful flights of your Norseman. A milestone for the group.
Congratulations also to Lyndon on the described perfect landing.
Congratulations, Jack!
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.

Congrats Jack and Frank!
Movie please!
