Bryan,

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!   But you are not going to get away with THAT.  As always, we need more details.  Like, how was the day, what was it like to open the hangar door that day, how fast was your heart going, did you video it, what were you feeling, etc. etc. etc.

When I first flew my 320 about 1 1/2 years ago, I had done several hours of taxi tests and when I actually took off, it was so cool - and soooo fun but I remember looking down at my hangar going by in almost a blur and seeing how small it was and thinking, "cool, I'm really flying"  This thing really flies!!  

I remember climbing up to about 5000 feet and doing some turns and thinking this is the coolest plane on the planet.  So responsive, so sexy, so worth it!!!  Yes, I pre-planned everything including places to land at different altitudes if I lost my engine.  I even GPS'd possible landing spots, due to winds, etc, and had local volunteer fire people all around.   And for everyone who wants to lecture me about doing my own flight testing, I did have some very valuable 320 time with a great friend from Norfolk and it worked out great!!   The 320 is a great airplane and one of the best looking airplanes ever.

So, please - send more info!!

Looks like a beautiful plane to be proud of!!  My 320 is down for paint for at least one more month so please, we need more info!!!

Matt

N127EM took flight on 10/25/09 for the first time in its life. Very short flight due to some high oil temps and slightly high CHT but other than that all went well.
Now just have to figure out why the high temps.
