    Default She flyes

    Yesterday afternoon. My grandson & I were at the Iron Crown airstrip fooling with my bird. When Airfox & Floog showed up in their awesome looking Kitfoxes.
    One thing led to another & when I jokingly asked them if either one of them would mind taking my plane up for the first flight Floog said, Sure I'll take her up. So after checking her out away he went What a Awesome feeling watching her takeoff for the fist time! He circled for altitude & did some stall testing & pronounced it good. Power off clean 24 indicated with flaps 19 indicated. When he brought her in the landing & roll out were perfect. I could hardly contain myself I was so happy. My gratitude to Doug is beyond what words can express. What a gutsy guy. To take up a airplane he has seen all of 10 minutes tops. Sorry no pics. Spur of the moment & all that, but I'm still on cloud nine.
