Roland,
The first flight was on Jan 3, 2004 and the test pilot was Bob Lindsay,
Cmdr (Ret) All went well during the 30 minute flight. The plane took
over 5 years to build (it's a tri- gear) and weighed in at a heavy 925
pounds. The engine is a Jabiru 3300 and the prop was also made by
Jabiru. The plane now has about 42 hours on it having just passed the
FAA 40 hour required fly-off time. Presently, the plane is located at
Ramona Airport (RNM) but I may be moving it soon to either French Valley
(F70) or my home base at Fallbrook (L18). If you need more info, please
let me know.
Regards,
Dale
