FIRST FLIGHT!

Posted by on June 16, 2019

Father’s Day, 6/16/2019

Well, it flies! See below for more pictures. I will make a separate post detailing my experience and lessons learned/issues encountered for this flight.

Cockpit video of first flight:

I scheduled this first flight on less than 24 hours notice due to schedules and weather, so not as many friends/family were able to attend as we’d hoped but I’m glad for those that were able to make it.  Here are some photos taken by them this day:

Preflight:

Initial startup and taxi to fuel pumps:

Taxi out:

Unfortunately at this airport (KRKW) the ramp is nowhere near the far end of the runway I used today due to the winds, so nobody could see the takeoff roll or landing from the ground.

Airborne!

And, after landing:

YAY!
