To Group,
I am not sure if this is 48 or 49 but N327AL Arion’s new Exp Demo flew today for the first time. An uneventful first flight, all total 2 hours of flying today.
This plane has a real neat feature, Wig Wag Lighting. We have a light pocket in each wing, with AeroLed’s MicroSuns. With these lights you can wire them together and than run a switch to get a Wig Wag function.
Looks real good on approach I hear and is visible for a long distance.
Initial performance with no fairings is as follows;
(at)4,500’
2850RPM 123kntsTAS
2950RPM 127kntsTAS
Fuel flow in the 5.5-6 range but is a bit rich right now will tune tomorrow.
Nick

Good Job Guys!!
Is this going to be the fastest yet or is it going to be a slow racehorse?
Or is this the one with the NOx system?

N327AL is SN 86 and the 48th to fly. Currently we've delivered 82 kits (7 serial numbers were not used for various reasons). With that in mind we currently have a 58.5% completion rate over the last 3.5 years. To put that into perspective the industry average of original purchasers actually completing their kits is below 25%. As far as I know all of our completions have been by the original purchasers.
