N155BK finally flies!
That's right, N155BK "Aurora" flew for the first time today. Hopefully we got some good video or pics to share.
squawks: idle set to high, Heavy left wing, , GPS locked up and needed rebooted in flight, operator error on the heater.
202mph, 24" 2500rpm, 9gph...if I remember correctly.

pounded my first rivet December '06. Piddled away many months saving money for parts. Got serious last fall, ordered the engine and worked pretty hard since then. I have about 1400hrs logged including paint. Lately I've been in a weather funk waiting for the right people /conditions. So 4 yrs is a long time.....
YES the worth it.
ps video is coming...anyone got a 10 yr old to loan me. video link in post 1 now

Happy Phase One to you Brian! You started three months behind me and now look - you are in the air and I am still about 1 year from first flight. Congratulations!
