N515FW took to the air this am.  Flew for one hr.  Flight was 

uneventful.  Once I was able to trim out she flew hands off and rock 

steady.  I had too much nose down trim on takeoff.  Cylinder temps in 

325-50 range.   Landing approach at 85 k and stall warning off just 

before main wheel touchdown.  Noted to be using 19 gal /hr at 25 sq.  

Will get some pics later.  Cruising about 145k with no wheel pants. 



Keep building.  This last 3 years was worth it.  Now I'm going to spend 

the next few years figuring out all the whiz bangs on the panel.

Fred, Congrats!!!!  Glad all went well.  I'm trying to finish up the panel so I can put some fuel in the thing.  Take care, but have fun!

C O N G R A T U L A T I O N S  Fred!!!! I remember John Cox (returning 

from a Tech councilor visit to your project) telling me that " Fred's 

riveting is the most precise and uniform of any I've ever seen" I'm sure 

that physician's attention to detail has carried through to the rest of 

the project.



Best Wishes going forward.

I also told you of his wonderful hospitality, great airport "Cox Field",

an overview of the Campbell Soup factory and the thrill of finally

visiting the Eiffel Tower (texas style). East Texas was more beautiful

than I imagined and having his "Man Cave" on the back of his physician

practice was a perfect location to round out slow work days.  I had

visions of what it must be like for Fred's clients to be told "the

doctor will be right with them, he is riveting a couple of parts

together on his project and waiting for the ProSeal to cure." I have no

doubt, the aircraft continued with his meticulous build quality.

Hello Fred,

  

 Congratulations on getting to this stage. It is a  wonderful feeling after all that work you did between patients :>} I know if  you are like me you still have a lot of loose ends to complete but they get much  easier now that you can fly it. Heck I spent a couple of days last week on  stuff  and I've been flying well over a year. A person is always trying to  fine tune things.

  

 Get comfortable with your fly off and then we can  meet somewhere for lunch within your 75 mile fly off radius.
