Today, my 601XL/Corvair flew for the first time!
As many of you know, I took my completed airframe and engine down to William
Wynne's hangar in November (see details on Flycorvair.com, look for Corvair
College #9) in the back of a rented truck. After that, I went down to their
hangar several times to work on it. William and Gus were excellent tutors
on what to do (and not to do). My last trip down started on Wednesday
night, and the DAR came on Friday and signed it off. What a great feeling!
We finished up a few last things and did the taxi testing on Saturday.
Tonight, Gus took it up for a few laps around the pattern and brought the
plane in for a perfect landing just before dark. It flew hands-off. The
elevator trim leaves a lot to be desired, since it is the early version that
doesn't have very much surface area.
Many thanks to William Wynne for developing a great engine package.
Many thanks go Gus Warren for a lot of hard work and for doing the first
flight.
Many thanks to Kevin Fahy for showing me how to build a perfect Corvair
engine.
Many thanks to Grace Ellen for making it all come together.

Congratulations, Phil!
I can't wait to see Mike Xray in completed form at Sun 'n' Fun, and I'll
bet you can't, either.
Anything you wish to pass along for 42KP, next in line at William's place?
I guess I better jump and apply for registration, now that the decks
have been cleared!
Congrats again - pictures! We want pictures!!

Congratulations Phil!
First flights are a great adventure after the building process, but do fly safe.
