Log 91 - First Flight!~ 2013 April

This was the day.
2013april8th - Glasair 88 Echo Tango, first flight/first photo in the air. From a distance over Future of Flight Museum, Paine Field, runway 16 right.
Everything was right as it could be. Many items to check over including weather, work, test pilot, systems, fuel, and everything else on the plane. We had a few small items but everything went well. This was a good day!

Between the last log and now, I had a few occasions to change test pilots, change a few parts including brakes and prop angle. It's good to know the plane had very few issues including some changes to be made for better heating. Test pilot was surprised even after flying glasair 1's in the past how easy it was to take off, fly and land. The plane flew well! I will be doing more work and test flying next few days and after the Sun N Fun Fly-In in Florida.
