Avenger R First Flight

This is the true first flight of the Avenger outfitted with the Scarlett 5Si radial engine. The run started as a taxi test to see how the machine would handle some throttle. After some donuts, and a run down the taxiway, it was time for a full throttle run down the runway to see what it could handle. According to Sam, the aircraft diddn't make it to 50% throttle before the thing was up in the air, probably less than 100 feet into the run. Prior to the flight we did some buttoning up, and a full weight and balance where it looks like the aircraft lost 50lbs over the VW installation, and gained 20-25HP while doing so! The engine sounds great, runs strong. There's a few tweaks still to make, some cleanup in the wiring harnesses and checks, and engine needs a good once over after all these test runs before we get a proper, planned, official first flight. But this impromptu video will always show the real first.
