First Flight N389TX

Post by sowell »

I made my first flight this morning. Flies like a race car. Take off and landing videos are on my facebook page (link in my signature). The most impressive thing about them is that the Corvair engine sounds freaking awesome! Turn up the stereo! I made a tail up wheel take off from our hard surface runway and a 3pt landing on our grass runway. Touchdown was at 39mph according to the garmin virb camera's GPS.

I will have more details as I get more flight under my belt. Today was really just all cheers and grins. All I can say for sure at this point is that it is fast and slick and does exactly what you tell it to do. A real dream to fly
