Look at that! Air under the wheels.
OMG! Me flying an airplane I built in my garage!
After about 20 minutes orbiting the field, checking the flight controls, engine temps and doing some slow flight with flaps down, I think my brain was getting overloaded. Time to land.
Down at last, and in one piece. Never mind the centerline.
Time for the RV Grin with the family.
My youngest daughter (on the right) surprised us last night by showing up for Easter weekend. She secretly flew in from Colorado. What a treat!
There is video of the flight, but it may be a while before that gets edited and posted. Maybe I can get my son to put something together, since it was his GoPro I borrowed.
Many thanks to all of the RivetBangers who made this journey possible (and the collective wisdom therein).
This wouldn't have happened without the support of my family and friends.
Thanks to all of the RV guys at Ramona and the greater SoCal/NorCal area.
Thanks to Dan Thompson for offering at the eleventh hour to be my chase pilot and letting my daughter fly along and take these pictures.
Whew! Still GRINNING
Glad all went well and look forward to more reports. You must be grinning from ear to ear. That is so Cooool!
