 |

My earlier posts must have failed because I had a photo attached. Sorry about that! Pictures on Facebook.
After almost eight years of construction, N283JL finally flew yesterday. Peter Jeffers was the test pilot and he reported that it handled just as it should, was very stable and well behaved. The number are:
Empty Weight: 885 Lbs.
Engine: Jabiru 3300
Construction hours: 2,014 (to date)
Cruise: 118 Kts (at) 2,850
Thanks need to go out to Bob and Russ at Flight Crafters, and Bud Yearly and John Lawton for their help, as well as all the help we have received from the people on this list. Peter has also been a lifesaver in helping finish the last 50% after I completed the first 95%. Without the help from him and Sue, we would undoubtedly not have been able to finish it in the time frame we did.
There is a great deal of concern in cooling the Jabiru. CHTs and oil temps were all within specifications for the first flight. EGSs are a little high, but other indicators tell us it is running a little lean, which we can address.
The attached photo is Peter Jeffers and I just after the flight.

Jim,
Hearty Congratulations!...and I'm delighted to hear that N283JL is "well behaved".
Glad to hear that you've been in contact w/ John Lawton re: your Jab as he is well-deserved to be thought of as our US-resident expert (at least IMHO) on the Europajab combo.
I'm looking forward to seeing your bird at the next RR,
Fred
