My Brothers,
I'd like to announce the first flight of my Legacy RG.  First flight was in
the capable hands of John Cook.  Three flights to date now with only small
non-critical issues.  Since I have an experimental 14qt oil pan, I was given
40hrs in phase 1.  She has an IO-550N with tuned pipes and an overhaul by
Pacific Continental. Nothing special under the cowl, just a straight forward
Continental engine.  Chiavetta speed mods from the firewall aft along with a
nose wheel close out box.  No speed runs yet but indicated airspeeds are
impressive.  Also running a three blade fully feathering Hartzell prop with
a custom cowl.  Larger Turbo oil cooler with a 15 degree tilt (box) off the
back of the baffling.  Also has a remotely mounted oil filter.  Oil temp has
not been a problem yet but it is still cool here.  I'm hoping that oil temp
in the hot southeastern summer will not be an issue.  If anyone is passing
through Atlanta PDK airport please look me up so we can talk Lancair.
