Friends,
Yesterday N2630J “Lil Bruiser” took to the air for the first time!
Scott Severen, test pilot for IndUS Aviation, flew her for about an hour. Scott told me that he was thoroughly prepared for an unsavory experience. Once in the air, though, he was pleasantly surprised and said he really had fun doing the flight. He was highly complimentary about the flight characteristics of the airplane; it was very easy to fly and everything was as it should be. The Corvair engine performed strongly and flawlessly. I don’t have all the numbers, but Scott reported that all temperatures and pressures stayed in the green, with RPMs up to 3200 and speeds up to 120 mph.
The not-so-great photos were taken by me from the chase plane, an IndUS Thorpedo flown by Ed Bandy. We flew out of Eagles Nest Estates (2TS6) and Scott did several touch and goes at Mid-Way Regional (JWY). Overall, a Great Day for me and “Lil Bruiser”.

Great news Jay! Glad to hear that we have another one in the air with a glowing flight qualities report.
I hope you will be flying it soon to be able to personally enjoy the fruits of your labor.
