Got the prop seal changed, reversed the elevator trim, and worked on the baffles some more... the plane was ready to go for a great weekend of aviating in the best weather we've had in a long time. Then my wife decides its time to go on vacation this past weekend (she had yesterday off which is a federal holiday - thanks Columbus!) So off to Freeport (FPO/MYGF) and back - I sat there dumbfounded that I wasn't flying MY OWN plane when I was sitting in that RJ on the way down to FPO.
Anyway, let's get to the real news. I flew N410S, yes my own creation, for the first time solo today. What a feeling. What a nice day to do it. Everything ran great and seemed 'routine'... which I guess is good.
Couldn't have done it without my great transition training from Pierre Smith. And of course the local, well experienced RVers (thanks again Kahuna and Nomad).
CHT's and oil temp were reading higher than last time and my one EGT probe is still inop. But this time I recorded my flight on the GRT EFIS and will look into it as I do flight recorders at work.
Can't wait to take her up again. Next time we will venture beyond the Class D airspace.
