G-BXUM took flight this afternoon, in the extremely capable hands of Frank
Chapman, from White Waltham (UK).
Three hours flying done, flies superbly, all temps and pressures nicely in
the green, ASI not calibrated yet but indicated stall figures 42kt flaps
down, 48kt clean, 105kt at 5000rpm, 2000ft with a rotax 912 and warp drive
set at 17 degs. Flying stopped at 1900 coz i inconveniently had to come in
to work!
Got to thank lots of people, some not on the 'net, some of you are, for
help, advice and encouragement.
could'nt stop grinning all afternoon.
knew there was a good reason i could'nt go to sun n fun, nigel!
deliriously happy ;-)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))
