Congratulations Craig.  I am told it is a great experience so I assume

that you like all others before you, now have the characteristic grin.



Keep us posted on your progress.



Best regards

Craig,



Congratulations on the first flight.  Give the engine some time, as long 

as "high" does not mean over spec.  The temps will come down.

Thanks all for the kind words on having had a successful first flight. 

Since then Bob has taken 5CN up on several more shake-down flights and me 

working nights making small changes to such things as prop pitch and cooling 

duct baffeling.  I took to the air last evening for my first try at flying 

her and found I too have that distinctive Europa grin when done.  Can't wait 

to do it again.  Five hr. done and 35 to go.
