NX53WE left the ground about 8:00 pm Saturday evening and flew about 15 min. with no surprises. Twenty two months and about 2500 hours and it was all worth it. It flew at 30 mph to 90 mph very stable, Very exciting! Now to fly off the 25 hours. Bob
Our instructor flew again wednesday eve for over an hour and all went good. Low speed pass at 30 mph - high speed at 103 mph and stalls at 27. It weighs in at 805 empty with an 0-200 and a 72-44 wood prop. He made several landings and said he likes wheel landings with a little power. What a thrill to see it fly.
