I went to Garden Valley and Idaho City this morning with my hanger mate who has an Avid Magnum. These strips are some of the easier strips that have a little slope and plenty of terrain. There weren't any winds so it was a great flight, not to mention they are only 40-45 miles away.
After today's flight I only have 3 hours left to go to finish my 40 hours in Phase 1 flight testing. You might notice my blue "passenger". I put some sandbags in the right seat and cargo area. This got the plane to the 1550 lbs GW.
