It was never a matter of if, just when, and now it's when.  1st flight in LN 360, CGTKJ, with the builder/owner (me) as the test pilot.   Everything went great, CHT's, Oil temps, all is good just need to adjust the aileron trim a bit.  A huge thanks to Chris Zavatson, we are all so very fortunate to have him part of our group.
So, 1.4  hours down, lots more to go.  Thanks to my understanding wife who forgo house reno's, trips and feeling single for many years.  B.T.W. started in 2005, and only over 4,000 hours later..
Another big thanks to the list and all those who encouraged me on, it's definitely worth it.
Pictures later...

cheers
Doug
