Thank you Richard and Don.

Yes, first flights will be on the open if there is a completely flat calm occasion. Probably test glides in the garden which is sheltered. There is a field nearby with long grass but about now it can have heavy dew first thing. Wait for it to burn off and there is invariably a breeze. One thing I have learnt in my brief dally with indoor is that outdoors they fly completely differently and often require a larger motor and consequently the overall "trim" is different. We do have a field close by as well that has a dense wood on one side and often acts as a good shelter from the wind giving an area of some 50m by about 100m where it is often flat calm. So we shall see......... but primarily Richard it is for the stable conditions of the indoors.

Well that turned out really nice, you will have a lot of fun with it, they all fly well. kudos! I built the Stahl one and flew it for years, mostly Indoors but then built a 150% one for a PAW .5 and that flew great as well.
