It's an airplane!

I just wanted to share my joy with all of you whose encouragement and advice 

have kept me working towards this day. A friend of mine who is an A&P, very 

experienced pilot and owner of Avian flight center  www.avianflight.com  was 

PIC for the first flight. He reports that the wing and flaperon rigging are 

right on but that she needs some right rudder. She is also apparently 

under-propped as he could not use more than 1/2 throttle without exceeding 

5800 RPM on the 912 ULS and cruised at a blistering 55 mph.

Congrads Joel!   I was just thinking of those still building as I was test 

flying today.   All the cold lonely nights in the garage do pay off.   Hope 

you get to enjoy the ride soon!  38 hours and expecting phase two tommorrow.

I'll never forget my first solo.  I don't think I've ever been so nervous.

I also won't ever forget my first flight in my Kitfox III-A.  The C172 lost

all it's appeal in about 5 seconds.  The wow factor is still fantastic.
