| Subject: | Another one flies |
I have a whopping 9 hours on it now, flew the first time on Monday morning.
Great time to fly a new airplane, not many others were using the sky. Had a
handfull of minor squaks which are fixed now, flies straight and true and does
not have that heavy left wing like most RVs.
Empty weight is a little heavier than I was hoping for but 1198 with leather
seats and a complete paint job isn't too bad, weight and balance is right on
the forward edge of the cg range empty with 39 pounds on the tail wheel.
Every thing your mother warned you about is true, these are amazing
airplanes and a complete rip snortin hoot to fly!
Hope to see some of you at Arlington in a few weeks, mine is silver and blue.

Congrats Kevin! Somebody asked me about $5 a gallon 100LL and my Rocket. I

d!

Thanks Smokey, I had a picture of your plane flying around over here, over
the San Juan islands on my desktop at work for a couple years, gave me lots of
inspiration to finish mine!
