Sorocco's Sirocket Makes First Flight

I'm not very smart on ultralights, having gone hang-gliding exactly one time in my life, but it souinds like a lot of changes were made to this airframe to increase the maximum speed.  What I have to wonder, though, is if they were really planning to go straight to the maximum design speed on the first flight.  I'm glad the issues presented themselves in a way that allowed the team to adjust the plan.
