Congratulations! Well done!

Thanks Craig,

Here is the landing. In fact that turned out to be the hardest to do
as when you kill the power the huge prop blanks the tail surfaces
and you lose elevator authority.

BTW here is our new tail wheel made from a skate board wheel.

 Exciting day! Where is the video of all the grinning faces? Anything
interesting from the engine being in the air a bit?

Dan got it up to 3000 feet. It was climbing at 1000 feet in 16 seconds from
hand timing the instrument panel video. That will be up loaded later.

This was only 10 psi boost and 7000 engine RPM.  We have another 30 psi  boost
available and another 1000 engine RPM with a three to one gear box.
