ZK-VII First Flight - Updated details
Just a real quick note to say ZK-VII got air under her tires for the first time today - all went OK, engine temps rather warm but still a great RV grin. More details / photos and thanks to a long list of people to come, but it is just so good to be able to share in the news!
Those building - keep pounding those rivets, those flying - you understand my emotions today,
Carl

Congrats
Congratulations on finding air! The sense of accomplishment must be like nothing else.
My first may be tomorrow, weather cooperating.
Have a blast getting those 40 hrs.

Brilliant!
Carl,
This is excellent news. I'm really looking forward to seeing your aircraft. Are you planning on taking it to Tauranga in February for the SAA fly-in?
Enjoy...
