ZK-VII Construction Story & First Flight Video

Hi,

Finally got round to editing a 'summary of construction and first flight'.

Now available at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dal6ZoqPiNA

ZK-VII now has 45 ish hours on her, I sent off the paperwork last week to change from phase 1 to phase 2 and am starting to seriously think about painting / schemes / methods.

Lots of textual notes / comments about first flight / test was added to the original posting - see http://www.vansairforce.com/community/showthread.php?t=26066#16

Those building - Keep pounding those rivets! Those flying - great isn't it!

Great UTube video

Thanks Carl for the UTube video, it was nice to wake up to this morning.

One of the best

Carl

That is one of the best first flight videos I have seen. Thanks for sharing the experience.

Great Video

Congratulations Carl:

Epic tale of a great saga!

Thanks

Thanks guys for the compliments....

Saga is probably a good description - but rewarding. I'm sure some of the photos will bring a smirk / relevant thoughts back for others too.

Carl (return paperwork "in the mail" - now been grounded for a week )

Great video! And great first landing!
