Hydeaway Maiden Flight

[Dave & Sue Funk]

I would like to see one that is at 9.5lbs on a scale in person. This kit was built as lite as I could not only that but have a OS140rx that has shed 2oz through mod's The only thing that ads some extra weight is I used a bladder tank.

  Sounds like it's a great flying plane, but I was a little surprised at the weight.  9.5lbs seems to be the norm for this one.  Still I personally like them a bit heavy, better in wind.

        I just got back from putting the maiden flight on my Hydeaway.I would like to thank Ed Miller for driving the hour and a half to stand by my side during this event. He is also the person who did the beautiful paint job. I would also like to thank Lance Robins for the graphics and I would especially like to thank Troy Newman for all the help and advice during the building process.
        With a click here and a twik there the plane flew great! Dry weight, ready to fly, 10 lbs 3.2 oz's. \
