HJ 460 Flew yesterday at the hands of Alfredo Gracia in SKGY taking off at 8500 and doing circuits for 20 mins at 10500. An emotional moment.
Thanks to all, it would not have been possible without the help of the forum.
Alfredo reported that everything was fine except for a marked nose up tendency despite trim
My trim is standard Kit LED with a vehicle Electric Window Switch and the Dynon AP panel. The trim works normally on the ground with the appropriate deflections.
Alfredo even suggested taking off with two LED bar nose down which i suspect is not normal.
I spoke to Bud who suggested the following as a first look
1. Check the trim is working correctly (not back to front)
2. Check the CG for tail heavy
3. Check the flaps fully retract against the incidence template.
Suggestions and ideas welcome.
Again, many thanks to all
Will

Hearty Congratulations Will…especially after building under somewhat isolated conditions...might you be the first first-flight on your continent?
Many happy landings,
Fred

Fred and bob
Thanks
No not that much of a trail blazer. ..there have been about 6 constructed in colombia. I think there is one in argentina and one in brazil but i could be wrong.
However due to distance and terrain i didnt have much dialogue with the other colombia constructor who builds essentially to resell.
The forum bud the late Nev and the factory were the biggest help.
Many thanks again Will

Great, congratulations.
Mine has the trim set well down for almost everything - always been so. Didn't seem to upset Mr Draper. Maybe there is a way to centralise it.
