| Subject: | First Condition Inspection Flight |
As a result of obtaining a Light Sport Repairman/Inspection Certificate on my E-LSA,
I finished up the aircraft inspection and took it up for a test. Here,
in the mountains of North Carolina where my hangar is located, I spent a few hours
just roaming the airport area with my Coolpix camera (hard to hold and fly
at the same time). I had just completed setting the timing on my Corvair 100HP
engine, changed the oil and plugs, tightened the tension of the cables and
inspected the aircraft. So here is a portion of that flight.

I have an optical tach on the glareshield that provides redundancy and you may
also note that several of the shots show a G-Meter on the right top of the panel.
I've never exceeded between 0.6 and 1.7 nor have I exceeded Va except in
very calm air. The flight was extraordinary and the 601 flew beautifully.

I know the feeling Mack! I didn't get mine into the air for six months after it
was certified because I just had too many other things I wanted to finish before
actually flying it. But, the wait is worth it. Congratulations and happy
flying.

| Subject: | Bottom position of 6B17-1 |
I'm having a bit of fun trying to figure out where, longitudinally, the bottom
of 6B17-1 should be located. 6B17 shows the top connection, and indicates
that the bottom is affixed to 6B1-4.
Maybe I'm staring at it and don't see it, but I haven't found the dimension to
locate the bottom of 6B17-1. Obviously, those of you who are further along
have done something, and probably found the dimension. Any chance of sharing
this information with me?
TIA

Jim,
What is critical is the 90 deg angle between the torque tube and? the face of 6B17-1,
both horizontally and veritcally.? Cleco 6B17-1 to 6B5-1.? Lay a tube or
a rod in the holes where the torque tube goes and adjust 6B17-1 to make a 90
deg angle between it and the rod or tube for vertical alignment.? Measure from
both edges of the bottom of 6B17-1 to 6B5-5 to make sure it is parallel to 6B5-5.
As an aside, I don't know what you mean by "TIA", but to me it means "transient
ischemic attack" - a mini stroke.? I've had one and it is a really scary thing.

Thanks for the idea. I may do that.
