Thanks all for the kind words on having had a successful first flight.
Since then Bob has taken 5CN up on several more shake-down flights and me
working nights making small changes to such things as prop pitch and cooling
duct baffeling. I took to the air last evening for my first try at flying
her and found I too have that distinctive Europa grin when done. Can't wait
to do it again. Five hr. done and 35 to go.
