Better late the Never!
« on: August 19, 2009, 05:18:36 PM »
First Nobler flight in 43 years, not the plane,,,,,me. Well, I finally got feeling good enough to fly a bit so I took the new Nobler out for its maiden flight. WOW! Know what its like when something's just "right"? Well this one's just "right". It grooves and tracks well, the CG is right on, it's not twitchy and goes exactly where I point it (so I hafta be REAL carefull). It's been a long time, but worth the wait, now I hope my back stays in place so I can get over to Cleveland.

  Nice model Randy, I hope that your back is good too..  What engine do you have in it, what does it weigh and so on??
  Hope that you keep on having fun..

That Nobler looks great.  But, 39 ounces is light.  That's alright as it will gain weight as time goes along.  At least mine always do for some reason.  Glad it is working for you.  Have fun,  DOC Holliday
