I took N75W to the air Thursday morning for the first time. The flight went great with the only problem being a lost wing root fairing rubber seal (which banged around a second before separating scaring the life out of me). Fortunate enough Danny King flew chase in his "Beautiful Doll" and told me what had happened.
I think the radio transmissions went:
Danny: you hear something banging around?
Jeff: Yeah what was that? (from a nervous pilot)
Danny: you lost the wing root fairing rubber seal. no problems. (laughing)
I would like to thank Doug for coming out and taking some amazing pictures and thank Danny for chasing me. I would also like to thank Alex DeDominicis for some excellent transition training! I don't think I would have felt comfortable without it. www.rvtraining.com
The picture taken below was from my girlfriend, Nikki, in the backseat of Danny's plane when flying chase. Van's designed a great airplane and I can't wait to fly off the first 40 hours!!!
