Hydeaway Maiden Flight

[Nik Middleton]

Sorry, not knocking the build quality here at all.  However, there are two
types of kits, the ones that are fairly well finished, i.e. wings skinned
etc, and the base kits where you simply get the foam cores, carbon fiber
wing tubes, formers etc.i.e no wood apart from gear mounting plate. Which
one was yours?

  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. \
