CompARF 44% Giles-202 Maiden Flight HD

My CompARF Giles-202 Maiden Flight on 12-17-11 @ Eldorado Dry Lake (Las Vegas, NV). It was 3.5 year project to get this airplane in the air (it was a replacement for the one I crashed in 2008). Desert Aircraft 150cc engine, break-in 30-10 prop. VERY WINDY day to Maiden but I wasn't about to go home early. With all the wind and my first time flying this light airplane it didn't want to give up lift when I was trying to land it for the first time :P
