I had the pleasure of watching Bob Counts build the prototype N3 Pup. I've got a photo buried somewhere of the dope being applied to the prototype's wings.
Yikes. His lack of an engine run up is extremely concerning. He basically took off immediately after the airplane started. You need to hold the airplane in ground effect until you have enough airspeed to climb out. Keep one hand on your throttle while climbing out. There shouldn’t be any reason to grip the stick with both hands. Use your rudder and make coordinated turns. Don’t round-out too early when you’re landing. The grass helped you a lot here, but you definitely would have bounced on pavement.
👍👍

Glad to see her flying
Just wondering if you can still get parts to repair wings
Douglas, how tall are you? I'm 6 ft and woundering wether the pup would fit me.
I’m 6’1” and 195lbs
Puppa licious

Sounds rough what's that squeaking ,?
pilot looks a little bit ner-vous
