Well had a buddy of mine that has 30 years of flying experience maiden my plane today in some very windy conditions I just didn't feel comfortable flying it for the first time. She flew great and the new DLE-111 did awesome. I've gone over this plane nose to tail but the one thing I did touch was the tail wheel and if course it came loose and fell off... Ha ha so there was no second flight... Ugggg.

Here is a pic of me and my finished Extra 260.

Thanks but what a bummer… I was really hoping to fly her today, but there is always tomorrow!

I wanted to mention one other thing about the DLE-111 v3 i have. I had to do absolutely no needle changes what so ever and man did she come to life and sound awesome. This is my second DLE that was set perfect out of the box! I had a DLE-55 that was exactly the same situation.... Mount, gas and go!
