Super Flying King TWIN first flight!
After many delays my SFK Twin flew for the first time yesterday.
Specs:
41.5 pounds
2ea ZDZ 40 RV gas engines with 16 oz. tanks.
Multiplex Royal EVO 12 radio system.
Take off roll @ 1/3 throttle was about 100 feet.
First flight was made by Andy Kane. Andy manged to squeeze in : half of a rolling circle, a knife edge pass, a high speed photo pass, two spins and assorted other stuff all while I held my breath....and then he flew in formation with an airliner on its way to landing at Dulles International!
Three flights were made and the SFK Twin was acclaimed "a KEEPER".. Very stable and docile, but very capable of more than flying in a straight line.. Andy tried a torque roll, but only managed to hang it on the props...next time he says he will torque roll it! This plane has LOTS of power.
