The wind was blowing hard (40kph min) and a few shots of throttle and it got airborne, but I settled it back down... No issue with lift here.. It will be a real flotter!!
Lots of taxiing And the smoke worked good!!!!
Hopefully Scaleguy can post some video tonight

What an incredible idle and if it's really rich I wouldn't doubt you'll see a good deal more than 5500..................3W
LOL...It had to be tempting to just go for it.
Could you see if there was much smoke fluid being unburnt. I suppose the exhaust temps may not be quite as high as if you were putting on a performance..
Sounds like you guys had a lot of fun.
