RV6 N959JS took to the air for the first time from Chapin Field (1B8) in Cambridge NY on this perfect north eastern USA summer evening, Friday July 10th 2009 at 5 pm EST, almost exactly nine years after drilling out the first holes and setting the first rivets in the center elevator bearing bracket - remember that? The 20 minute flight was uneventful apart from noticing that the field disappeared behind and below faster than normally experienced in the Cambridge Valley Flying Club's C172s.
N959JS is a tip-up with a YO360-A1A Lycoming, Sensenich 72/85 prop, Dynon D100 EFIS, ICOM A210 and Garmin GTX-327 & GPS-496. I now need to learn how to use all these gizmos!
Thanks to my ever supportive wife and family, to Van's for the best handing plane that I have ever flown - mind you this is the first one that wasn't an antique - and to those supportive friends and colleagues who never quite believed me when I told them that I was spending all these years building a plane just in case I ever had to leave town in a hurry
