Default A Pat Tritle C-172 takes to the air...

Got the kit earlier this year, and got it done the end of last week. So yesterday was it's maiden.

Looks like it's nice and light. Watt's the power system?

When I fly alone, I prefer to be by myself.

BP Hobbies 2217 motor, 3s 1300 mah lipo. Swinging a 10x5 prop.

Less than 200 watts, but more than enough.

I am right at 26oz with battery in it.

Very nice build, Arbo, and wonderful maiden. I'll bet you had a huge grin on your mug at the end of it, didn't you? I love the way a well built light weight balsa model flies, it's magic!

Pretty spiffy flying for a maiden. Did you use flaps yet? Using flaps for takeoffs, landings, touch and goes and slow fly byes adds a lot of interest.
