After waiting for all parts to arrive, and repairing the plane to the best of my limited ability, it was now time to maiden the repaired Tundra. I must admit that I was a little nervous about flying her in the same location she ended up in a tree, the last time I flew her. Therefor, I decided to start off with only a take-off, and directly land straight out. Just to see if she needed major trim adjustments before flying properly. And that seemed to be the case.
