Subject: Europa-List: First Flight
All
I am very happy to announce that my Europa XS flew for the first time today.
My flying buddy, Bob Jacobsen, did the job. He had only two "squawks". One
was the cockpit heat knob was labeled backwards (he got too hot) and the
other was the transponder did not receive radar. I have fixed the first and
will work on the second problem next.
The plane weighed 878 lb with a CG of 59.75 " , a little forward, but good.
We flew at KPAE (Pane Field, Everett,Washington, USA) . The flight lasted
290 minutes.
I am very happy, it is a great day !
