    Ed, Beautiful plane, and congratulations! I still remember the first flight in mine, the combination of excitement and some trepidation =93 glad that all went well for you. Enjoy the fly-off time, proceed slowly and deliberately. Bill Schertz From: Ed Hanson Sent: Sunday, May 14, 2017 8:47 PM Subject: KIS-List: KIS Cruiser WindDancer flies After a long build time interrupted by life in many ways, I was able to finally take my Cruiser around the pattern a few times last Wednesday. I had made several long and high land backs on our VPZ 7000' runway earlier so I knew it would fly but wanted the initial pattern flight to depart east over fields. Waiting for acceptable weather and trying to align schedules was like getting the planets to align. Light rain fell on the hangar roof when I pulled the plane out but the weather held off long enough to do the deed. The plane flew very nicely and since I followed the manual's flight test advice for the first flight landing with no flaps, and was carrying a little extra speed on this landing for pucker factor, it just wanted to keep flying until we both decided it was time for a nice touchdown. I look forward to another get acquainted flight soon before starting the phase one testing in depth. I would like to thank all the KIS list members and builders for their advice and help thru the years and also Kent Pyle and Galin for letting me get some stick time in their planes.I felt very comfortable on the first flight. I have an injected Lycoming experimental IO-360 running dual p-mags, and factory suggested Sensenich prop. For good luck on the first flight, I wore my dad's 1929 flying helmet from his OX5 Swallow days and complemented it with my Light Speed Zulu headset. Seemed to work. Post flight inspection didn't turn up any problems. My tail feather N71EJ stand for the year we were married and Ed and Judi.
