Maiden flight and first attempt to fly a warbird by my friend Simon.
Up to this day, Simon was flying only smaller planes, such as Funjet or Toledo Special from Hangar 9. The setup of the Corsair was done in cooperation with Tom, and, as you can see, it worked fine. After the 5th flight, Simon was able manage the whole thing by himself. It was also planned to get him into to fly the Spitfire, but there was some issues with the carburator and the landing gear, which we couldn’t fix in time.
