Subject: [FlyRotary] First Flight of N249B

I completed my first flight of my Lancair Legacy FG at Orlando-Sanford
airport this morning.  (KSFB)  I had some issues with engine cooling so
I
limited it to only one time around the patch and landed.  I got delayed
holding short for takeoff and the engine temp was higher than I would
have
liked before takeoff.  It was about 205 as I took the active.  The temp
got
to 225 as I came around the pattern, so I decided to land after the
first
pass.  The temp as I departed the active after landing was already down
to
about 216.

The wind was a little difficult.  The takeoff and landing was on 9L and
the
wind was 170 at 12 Knots Gusting 20!  Not exactly 90 degrees, but close
enough for government work.  Not the prettiest landing I ever made but
not
too bad!
