Hi all,

Yesterday saw the first flight of N124GT, a 601XL with corvair power built according to the standard William Wynne configuration.  It went once around the pattern without incident.  I watched from the ground, but will be eager to play my part next weekend.  It could not have been done without tremendous help from the people at Zenith, William Wynne and friends, members of EAA chapter 133 down here in Fort Lauderdale, countless visitors to the hangar, and the people here on this forum (where I am an avid lurker).



Emotions run high here sometimes, and there are occasionally people with a talent for getting others inflamed, but let's remember and celebrate what we all have in common, for it is considerable.  Keep working towards your dreams.



Gary

Congratulations Gary!  What a wonderful feeling, huh?  Now you can add "test pilot" to your other titles: builder, owner, repairman, air boss, ...

Way to go, Gary.  I hope to be following you in the not-to-distant future.  Take good notes and plenty of pictures!
