Hydeaway Maiden Flight

[Nik Middleton]

Not so,  there is a third option as I said,  composite fuz, CF internals and
foam cores, and believe me it's a HydeAway all right!

  I think you are refering to the HydeOut. To the best of my knowledge the
HydeAway was offered 2 ways, semi ARC with sheeting on flying surfaces done
and a composite fuse by ZN line. The second version was all wood built up
from Japan, very light and high quality. I knew of one here on the east
coast that blew apart in flight. The HydeOut is substantially smaller than
the HydeAway.
  I've spent many hours weighing componets, hardware and taking weights
during construction while building my soon to be finished EMC2. I also
recorded some of this information on Dave's HydeAway. I hope to share this
information as an article in the KFactor later this year. Like the tachs
that have a built in 500 rpm head start, there seems to be an abundance of
scales that start at minus numbers or defy gravity.

    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. \

          Dave
