N76CX First Flight!
May 22nd 2016:
After 14 years of building and thanks to the support of family, friends and the VAF community, N76CX took to the skies.
The takeoff roll was short. The climb and racetrack over the airport was smooth and predictable. The landing wasn?t too bad either (some sort of weird hybrid 3-point/wheel landing) with Mike Seager?s voice haunting my thoughts; ?keep the stick back, keep the stick back. Feet up to the brakes?.?
0.4 hours in the logbook, and I needed a nap.
