Congratulations Jeff, I'm sure it was all worthwhile. I might like to use
some of your site in the next Europa Flyer magazine, if you'd be OK with
that? EF45 is at the printers and already has a fellow countryman of yours
on the front cover!

[mailto:owner-europa-list-server@matronics.com] On Behalf Of N55XS
Subject: Europa-List: First Flight - The Big Day!
Well ladies and gents the big day has finally come. N55XS received all
today. My test pilot was a retired Air Force Col. with thousands of
hours in hundreds of test birds. Everything went off, without a hitch,
save a malfunctioning ASI. Since the wind was calm, all day, John flew,
anyway, using the GPS. His comments went something like " I think I
need to trade you for my Cessna". No thanks, John, but thanks for the
offer. Two flights, today, for a total of 1 hour. The bird has no bad
habits and no need for any roll or yaw trim. My comments and a few
pictures can be seen at the build site http://www.n55xs.com
After the bugs in the ASI are worked out, I'll be taking "Baby Blue" to
the sky, myself. Thanks go out to John for his test flight, my wife,
Mary, for her help and understanding and to this list, without whom,
this project would have much tougher...

Finally in the sky, with the Europa Grin...
