Default Serial #120003 Flies After 37 Months

N124JG flew yesterday after 37 months of "stop 'n go" building. The flight was low and slow, but a flight none the less. Look closely, you can see air under the tires. The morning began with the FAA issuing my Airworthy Certificate ... then came the momentous liftoff.

CLICK HERE to see first flight. Longer, higher and faster flights to follow.

CLICK HERE to see day two flight (a bit higher and faster than the first flight)

Default Fantastic NEWS!

Jerry,

That is FANTASTIC! Many of us read your builders log when we started our kits as you were leading the pack. It must feel just great now that the build is complete and you can now fly. Congratulations!
