Spent Sunday morning checking over everything and trying to get my nerve up for the maiden. My son offered words of encouragement, "you're gonna crash it"....
Still, I persisted. Got to the runway, checked all the control surfaces one last time, fired up the engine and rechecked the mixtures. Ok, ready to go. Line it up on the runway, steadily increase throttle, plane veers left in the the grass. Damn wheel came off. Shit.
Ran in the house and grabbed a couple tools and put the wheel back on, started the engine and try again.
Forgot to put my modified camera hat back on so I missed the takeoff, but I did fly one handed while I put it on and started recording. Landing is at 7:20 if you get bored.
