Well IT FINALLY HAPPENED :)

C-GOGO took to the air today under the capable hands of Kevin Horton (I can't say thankyou enough for that, Kevin!!)

I cobbled together an overly long video of the flight and posted it... link attached. (I might try to make a shorter one later...sorry...I was in a hurry to post it)

Great

Glad to here another one is up. If your adventures bring you this way, CYQG, drop a line. Always happy to see more RVs.

Enjoy your plane.
 
Congratulations, Chris. I was watching GOGO take off, buzz around overhead, and then land. I didn't realize it was your first flight. What a momentous occasion. Many of us down at EAA245 noted the rapid initial climb rate and the throaty roar coming from the exhaust pipe. She's a nice machine!
