Finally got everything straight in my head and, after one 3 ft high hop and a returnto start point, ol' NX140DL took to the skies.I was amazed @ 60MPH climbout, the rate of climb was 650fpm, went up like a rocket!(guess empty weight of 595# helped).I always marveled at Mike Cuy's video of him climbing at a great pace.At altitude, throttled back to 2150rpm, and indicated just over 80mph.Very docile to land, lots better than the J-3.I'm a happy guy.1 down/24 to gowaltNX140DL(north N.J.)________________________________________________________________________________
