I finally Maiden my Draken. We got some clear and calmed skies over Houston a day after a winter snowy storm that dropped 2 inches of white powder in the ground. Here is the video I have uploaded and I must say, it few and the landing gear worked as expected.. very nice shock absorption..

I was at the field Saturday evening. It was so foggy, I was only able to fly my Bipe as I have not finished painteing my Draken and it's mostly White. Then on the first flight of my Bipe I didn't check the center of gravity and was flying very tail heavy, had to make an emergency landing on the grassy field accross from a nice size pond of rain water. When I jumped my car keys popped out of my back pocket and I didn't notice until I was getting ready to start my car. Lost them for 25 minutes. there were 4 guys there that helped me look for them. Thanks my friends!!!
Needles to say, I had to walk the pond for 10 minutes looking for them... Luckily I found them before it got dark..
I was there on Sunday and I was able to fly my Draken.. There was many people there. I had not seen so many people flying their planes at the same time. Anyways, I put 2 flights on it cause I forgot to completely charge my radio and the batteries on it were too low. Flew great and the landings were very scale looking, I flared it right before touch down just right..
Can't wait to fly it again.
