#40105 took flight for the first time this morning.  All went well and the plane now has 3.1 hours on it.  CHTs are a little high but I trimmed down the baffle seal a little and did a little sealing so hopefully between that and then engine getting broken in it won't be an issue.



What a thrill!

I'll add my congratulations to the others Bob. You have worked long and hard

and are now enjoying the rewards of your labor. Please keep us posted on

your fly off experience.  Did you do your own test flight?

Ok, here's the first time all three tires were off the ground!  Susan

apparently posted a video on YouTube also.  I don't have the link, but

if you search for N442PM it will come up (those sites are blocked from

my work computer).  She wasn't aware that her camera was also recording

sound and her comments make it priceless!

I had my hangar neighbor do the first flight.  He's a 13,000 hour pilot

with a couple thousand hours RV time (including some time in a -10).

Even with transition training he is far more qualified than I am for

that!  He's also helping fly off test time and identify/work out the

various tweaks as we find them.

I'll add my congrats also.  Plan on listening to the video too.  I'm located on the opposite coast (Sacramento area), but have a catamaran docked in Chesapeake, VA, at Atlantic Yacht Basin.  Do plan on flying our 10 out to the boat at some point and was wondering if there's any temporary hanger space available (say a month or two at a time).  The plane is in it's finishing stages with some panel work and odds and ends to do.  By July it should be flyable.    Congrats again!
