Valenta Carbonara Maiden

Oh yes the beast flew - whoooooooo!!!!

With a good NW wind blowing around 20 - 25kts it seemed a good day to maiden the Valenta Carbonara. The 4m super ship comes in just under 5 Kgs.

Checked and double checked all the movements and everything is connected properly and we were ready to go. Ian gave it a good launch and she went off with no fuss or the need for much trim. The first flight was a little cautious but managed a few loops and rolls and some reasonable speedy fly pasts. The landing was very uneventful with the flaps working well and giving me a good rate of controlled decent. The touchdown was lovely and I remembered to put the flaps away just a second before touchdown. Time to warm the hands and have a chat / gossip.
My second flight went very well with the confidence rising and so was the speed. She handled the windy conditions with ease and just cut through the sky like a knife through butter. Very stable but agile on the turns. The second landing was a doddle with the Carbonara pushing on through the sink behind the hill and touched down nicely for me.
Love It - Love it and yes............ I love it!
Here is some video from my head cam. Some dim arse put the camera on his helmet with the lens rotated through 90 degrees. Filmed the whole flight with the camera at right angles, hence the strange thin picture as I managed to rotate in editing.
