Subject: First flight G-XSDJ, kit 402
Delta Juliet took to the skies yesterday between storms at Kemble in the
incomparable hands of Peter Jeffers, with all systems go and an enormous
grin on the face of the observer in the second flight.It really does make
all the hard work with the sanding seem a trivial matter! APS weight 839 lbs
( which included 3lbs lead in tail to give desired C of G posn of 59"), 914
engine, battery in engine compartment and Woodcomp/Kremen Constant speed
prop.
My thanks to Peter, to the Europa team, to Roger Targett for
sympathetic inspecting and expert gel coating, and to the support team of my
wife Su and Paddy Clarke. David Joyce
