Well I did it this morning  committed aviation. Flew 55 min. Did real good flew hands off at 5500rpm 65 mile  per hour. Have to repitch the prop (Power Fin). Had to back off full trottle on  take off because the EIS gave me a warning. Had to use some right aileron  on the high speed taxi's to keep that wing down. But as soon as I got in  the air it disapeared. Had a little cross wind to contend with. But it was  from the left. I'm now smoking my celbration stogy and drinking a cold  one.

      Hobbs is not working. Will  defiantly have to get some sound attenating head sets. Any one used one off the  kits to convert a std. head set to sound attenating? Could not hear the  ground crew at higher RPM's. Rick Pearce MK3C  912ULS

Congratulations, Rick.  It's a big day for you, and inspiration for me to get my buns in gear and back to work on mine.                         Lar.                         Do not Archive.

Rick

  

 Congratulations. It a real special thing to fly a  plane you built. Wow doesn't seem like it was that long ago that you had just  started that build. 

  

 I installed the active noise reduction  kit  from Headsets http://www.headsetsinc.com/ in my  Sigtronics head sets five years ago. They helped a bunch. I would think they  have improved them since then just like every one else.
