Hi! Troy.
Well done ! All looks good then. ....except... (the folks that know me
here will understand this but I couldn't let the chance slip me by !.) I
have a healthy disregard for all things EU !
Best wishes for many safe hours of flying.
Regards

the voyage was just orbiting the airport but she did so very well. I was amazed
at the short take off, maybe 500 ft someone said. I don't know, I was too busy.
I climbed to 5000 ft and the temps and pressures were well with the limits
for the whole flight which lasted 35 minutes. I did some manuevers and stalls.
No drama except for a left wing drop deep into the stall in dirty configuration.
Mostly just mushed. I need a rudder trim tab, need to tighten the tail wheel
cables, and recheck the weight and balance. (I needed a bit too much nose
down trim for straight and level.) But all in all I am very happy. It went well
today. I was worried about the weather. The wind had picked up from earlier
in the week, but I couldn't take off work. Turns out that winds were at just
6-10 knots almost straight down the runway.

It feels great to be up there pushing that stick around and have her respond

Peter,
What struck me about the Yikebike was what's possible in a society
where engineering talent is not sucked into the maw of the military/
industrial complex...and gets focused on solving real societal
problems...
Here's to Kiwis...changing the world...

Hello Friends and Fellow Aviators,
Today at 1145 EDT, at KAVL (Asheville, NC, USA), Europa N120EU broke
the surly bonds of Earth and lept into the air on it's maiden voyage.
Well, actually the voyage was just orbiting the airport but she did so

that winds were at just 6-10 knots almost straight down the runway.
