I took my Model III, S/N 910 for it's first flight this afternoon from the turf runway 18/36 at Galt Airport in Greenwood, IL. It was perfect conditions and I had a great ground crew who turned out to be skilled photographers.
The kit was received on Nov 27, 1990 and built by myself and two partners, John and Larry. I think we may have achieved some sort record for longest build by an individual group. It makes me wonder how many other nearly finished birds are out there getting ready to fly.
I've got a short list of squawks to attend to now, but should be back in the air flying off my hours soon.
Thanks to all the list members who've provided much needed information and ongoing enthusiasm to help achieve this big milestone.
