> C-FKRO has flown for the first time this Sunday pm, out of Kingston,
> Ontario,  Canada, in the safe hands of  Canadian Air Force pilot, Jeff
> Canton.  First flight was 20 minutes and the aircraft performed
flawlessly,
> climbing to 5000' and performing slow speed work above the airport.
Landing
> was uneventful even with gusts and slight crosswind.
>
> Some attention is required to provide a lower pressure area at the bottom
of
> the cowl to help cooling air flow.

> What a high!  Now we can get on with the 25 hours we have to fly off
before
> we get the final C of A.  My next job is to get Jeff to check me out.  Our
> regs specifically say that we can carry licenced pilots for the purpose of
> checking them out.

> 6 1/2 years to build, probably 4000 hours and an undisclosed amount of
