Default Eagle's Nest--New Plane, New Pilot!
Yesterday (the 25th) late in the day Elijah Morris became the third Eagle's Nest student/builder to solo in EN-1. Eli did a great job, really greasing the three landings. As I watched the CFI watching the last landing, I commented that we hadn't made him a lot of money (he volunteers his instruction.) He came back, "But it sure has been fun."

Today, EN-3 put air under her wings for the first time. Special thanks to Bruce Bohannon, test pilot, who reported no problems with all in the green. Ernie Butcher did a great job supervising the build, in record time. It has been a good weekend for ENP...

Bob

Congratulations to both groups. It was a special day for Elijah and kudos to his volunteer CFI.

Ernie and the EN-3 group have done amazing work in such a short time and it's such a worthy project. Continue the good work!
