Just been reading on WIX that the first flight has been put off to probably Thursday or Friday next week due to weather. They did reschedule to Saturday but crosswinds were too great. Poor buggers must be champing at the bit to see her fly!

A lovely set of photos from Liza as always in her Albums. There is a Facebook video of one of the three takeoffs achieved on the first set of flights. It is a bit coarse in quality both vid and sound but good sounds as she passes by!! www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=10201049827718646I hope this works for folks...

I noticed in one set of photos Liza posted, KA114 took off with full flaps - is that part of the FAA test regime? In the video I viewed - it was poor video wise, but it definitely did not have full flaps.

Great to see and hear the Mossie in flight again - so awesome. Jerry must be a happy chappy. Hope it gets good coverage in the US.

Jerry mentioned to me today that the aircraft has conducted two flights, with three take offs and landings and clocked up 2.0 hours so things are going well.
