We finally reached our first major goal: The pilot and the plane are connected for the first time!
The pilot is capable of walking, running, standing (for hours) and has a great feeling of the airframe and controlability. He says: "I feel like I have finally spread the wings I always wanted to have" :-)
We will now build in the first engine again to continue with rolling tests of the gamma-phase. This includes several speeds including the lift-off speed without mounted V-Tail so that the plane won´t climb. Slight hovering above the ground is the target of this phase.
