Thanks to Matt for coming over and helping move Goat outside for the first time ... nice to get some grass underneath the wheel!
It was a neat test on the assembly procedure too. It's a pretty quick assembly, maybe 5 minutes for what you see put together. I imagine adding the wings and associated cables would double the time, but even that isn't too bad. It'll take more time driving than it will to get through the fun assembly time.
It's a little bit rickety right now without the cable bracing. The rudder makes the tail rack a bit, even with the stretchy line. I'm looking forward to having the real low-stretch control line. The wings and cables will be nice too of course, heh.
Oh yeah, the neighbor kids of course found us. They were a bit rough on the rudder. Sonya sure is cute not reaching the pedals though!
The only casualty is two $0.18 bolts that fell in the grass, DOH.

Outside at last, after being built in an apartment living room? This adds a new chapter to the saga of airchair building (and the best blog). Thanks for all the communications effort, I hope you like the flying.....Mike Sandlin
