I am pleased to report that N7965A is back in the air again. After the engine failure in December, the engine finally got IRAN (to the tune of $10k), but in the interim, I decided to move the third wheel to the back. This afternoon wasn't ideal (a bit of crosswind and some thin rain showers in the distance) but I just couldn't wait any longer since the last several days the weather has been garbage. Second first flight went well - a bit bumpy up there, but no squawks and I got in the first 5 or so landings all at once.
Great thanks to Bill Repucci, Mike Ice, Cameron Kurth, and Greg Vouga, who have all gone before and provided important advice on the changeover. Also thanks are due to the local RV crowd (Bob Mills, Dan Ross, Steve Barger, Walt Murphy) for moral support and air time during the last several months while I've been airplaneless.
Not too many folks get the opportunity to do their first flight twice - I've still got the RV grin this afternoon. Now to get my Phase I completed (again) and go somewhere in the air for fun!
Cheers,
greg
