Piet dudes-Don't know if the list can stand two YIPPEE, YIPPEE, YAHOO letters in the samemonth but NX899LW committed aviation 27 May. Powered, sustained, controllableflight just like Gustav Whitehead back in 1901. It was MAGNIFICENT!! Control forces were of the "two finger" variety. Everythingheld together and the landing was silky. Can't say enough good about this oldairplane with it's brazed fittings built from obsolete plans. ;-)I haven't come fully back to earth and I'm sure I'll be replaying it over and overuntil I can get back up again. Can't wait.Larry________________________________________________________________________________
