All...
After 6 years of balancing work and plane building, kit 40214 (N4959S) left the ground for the first time yesterday. It climbed like a champ and we were at 800 feet by the time we hit the end of the runway. The flight was uneventful with engine temperatures staying where they should and the plane flying true and level.
Many thanks to my good friend Robin Marks for the encouragement to keep at it even when I was trapped at work 7 days a week. Robin also tied me up with an A&P that could help solve the wiring problems that Accuracy Avionics created in the panel that they built for the plane. My OP Technologies EFIS is now talking properly to the engine monitor and the air data computer. Most of the function on the OP seem to be operating properly, but there are a couple of questions that I will have for the OP group.
I have an appointment with GLO Customs for paint in late June and and will post photos once it is out of the paint shop.
It sure feels good to finally have it in the air!!!

ps..Robin, I opened the bottle of 1822 Madeira for Ken, my son and I to celebrate. We need to get together later this week and work on reducing the volume further!

Jearl,
That is terrific news. I sure wish I was in town to witness the big event. I am positive you will have little to work out between now and the end of your Phase 1. It is fantastic to add another flying -10 to the fleet and even better to have one at our airport built & piloted by such a nice and talented person with a wonderful family. I look forward to some loose formation flying and air to air photo sessions and heck maybe even some cross country trips.
Clear skies,
Robin, Nova & Hannah
