I flew my 601HD for the first time since breaking the crank in May. For those who don't know about that story go to www eaa35.org and read the June 2006 newsletter.
We had to take the wings off after the landing in the field and I discovered a leak in both wing tanks when I put them back on the plane. So both nose skins had to be pulled to do the repairs. I also replaced the lower nose gear bearing due to some slop. So with all the changes, I wanted to treat this flight as a first flight.
I started with a couple of slow taxi tests, then a few high speed. I finally let it lift off and skimmed the runway for a few yards before letting it settle back down. Taxi back to runway 35, take a deep breath, full throttle, and off we go... She acted like she missed being in the air. We were 1000ft AGL by the time I turned downwind and I don't fly an extended pattern.
The only problem was the CHTs were a bit high, approaching 400 degrees. That made me decide to land after only one circuit. It could have been the extended taxiing, new engine breaking in, timing a bit too advanced, or any or all of the above. I'll figure it out eventually.
It's good to be back in the air!

Randy,
That's fantastic news!
I am glad to hear that you are back up in the air. I will keep my eyes on
Williams site for the details.
Enjoy and someday I will be up there too.
