Subject: Pietenpol-List: First flightsI would like to take a minute to thank all of those on this list that have unknowingly contributed to the successful building and eventual first flights of N799LJ. I have been a lurker on this list for the last 3-1/2 years while building this ship. I must say that all of the information needed to supporta builder is available on this site. Saturday, I was able to get in the first flight of about 1/2 hour around the pattern in fairly rough air, not proving much other than the plane would fly. Last night, however, I was ableto get another flight of close to 1 hour in smooth beautiful air, just prior to sundown, what a trip.Plane flew fine, there is no requirements for rigging adjustment, plane essentially flys hands off. All engine temperatures and pressures were normal.Plane flies at 175 MPH @ 2250 RPM behind a C-85-12 turning a Sturba 72-44 wooden prop. I obviously have not gotten a chance to check climb performancebut it is significantly better than the Cub that I have been flying. Fifty MPHon final sets up for 3 point landings that are a piece of cake.Lou Wither________________________________________________________________________________Subject: RE: Pietenpol-List: First flightsDate: Mon, 22 Aug 2005 11:23:25 -0400
