Contributor #12582 comments (4 December 2022): First Flight in April 2003 was flown by Lee Holcomb, and was accompanied by a Canadian built F-86 Sabre serving as a chase plane. On takeoff, the plane oscillated up/down in pitch, with Lee struggling to bring it under control. Lee commented after the flight, I do not remember these being so pitch sensitive. |
