Why are there 2 heads in a Phase 1 aircraft during first flight?  Hmmmm.

Ops Limits number 10 violation???


Is this what Charlie Kohler advised you to do?

I'm sure Joe Bartels will love that!

Hello Everyone!

Janie and I are proud to announce that our Lancair IV-P gestation period
ended on January 22, 2009 @ appoximately 11:30 AM with a successful first
flight - after a build time of 8 years & 1 week.  Like all new parents, we
think we have the prettiest airplane out there - pictures enclosed to prove
it!  We owe our deepest gratitude to many, many friends for all of the help
and moral support in helping our Lancair break the surly bonds of earth -
especially Charlie Kohler (inspection), Dennis Pratt (first flight) and my
very best friend - Janie (better half).

Best Regards,

Ed Smith
