First Flight!
On Sunday January 13, 2013 at 2115Z, N151E fought against gravity and became airborne for the first time. The event occurred 4 ½ years after receiving the tail kit. It flew beautifully as expected. Temps were all normal in the crisp air and the engine ran strong and smooth. It is an all standard build RV9A sporting a Sam James Cowl, Catto 3 blade propeller, Rebuilt O-320, Full Classic Aero Interior, Dual 10” Skyviews and all Garmin stack. Thanks go out to my wife for putting up with me through the project, Russ Dent for all his help with the final assembly at the airport and VAF for lots of good information.
Here is the required RV Grin Picture (Russ Dent photo)
