It's finally happened my Aircraft G-PUPY took to the sky yesterday afternoon on its maiden flight  Test pilot confirmed it performed beautifully and that i had built a good one   



Looking forward to get the required test flying completed and getting some flying done in my pride and joy. 



Many thanks to everyone on this forum for help and assistance provided whilst I have been building my aircraft, its much appreciated. 



Many thanks

Kind regards

Hi Donald,



Congratulations on the first flight of G PUPY.



Two of the Scottish Islands tour are at Scone and hope to be in Oban at lunchtime today (Sunday).   Is G PUPY there and could we meet up?  My phone for text is. 07825 650471.



Yours

Great job, Donald 

  I hope you really get to enjoy all your hard work. But now you will have to admit to all the specs for the records.....build time, engine, prop, weight, undercarriage, panel, etc. How else can we start to admire and steal your great ideas.

Thank for the wishes, much appreciated. 



Max it is my home airfield Oban (EGEO) located on the west coast of scotland, a fantastic place to fly from and fantastic scenery from the moment you take off.  Well done Ivor in spotting it was Oban. 

Mike I purchased the xs kit part built, I was the third builder, previous owners had done the layups for flying surfaces and got the wings to the point where they could be closed over. 



I started with the fuselage.  The kit was originally putchased as a mono wheel however i decide from the start i would go down the tri gear route and as such purchased the trigear conversion kit from the start. 



My total build time to complete the project was just under 2 years. It has rotax 912 uls with woodcomp sr3000 prop & Nevillie Eyre's cowls. Panel is a dynon skyview  and empty weight is 890lbs.

Hi Vic



Thanks for that, its come a long way since I bought the kit from yourself. 



I will hopefully get a flight up to visit you soon and show you the completed aircraft. 



All the required test flying has been finished today so paperwork hopefully be back in the post to the LAA tomorrow. Hopefully they wont have any issues with the test results and my permit will get issued very soon. 



Kind regards

Donald

Awesome job! Can't wait to share the same excitement of flying my homebuilt.



 I also purchased a kit from someone who didn't finish. I'm 2.5 years and still no end in sight.
