I'm posting this for a friend -- a guy who'd never toot his own horn about building an airplane. Jim Hanson, Sr. is a WWII veteran (and Pearl Harbor survivor) who lives down the street from me. For the last 2-1/2 years, he has been quietly and diligently working on his RV-7. He's the kind of guy whose 10-hour-a-day work ethic makes me, at the spry age of 43, feel envious.
Today, N1PN made its first flight at Poplar Grove Airport, Illinois (C77), under the expert hands of local RV-8 / RV-10 builder Don Pfeiffer. (Perhaps Don will chime in with a pilot report, but I at least had to post a photo or two...)
Way to go, Jim!![Big grin :D :D](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
