Congratulations Ken! I hope my first flight is as good as yours. I have to admit that your video makes me a little jealous. I can’t wait to fly my 750, but at this moment, it seems so far away. 5 years and 3 months so far and possibly 1 more year before I make my first flight. It seems so far away, but only one way to get there. Gotta go (go out to the shop and run some more wires)!

Cheers,

Joe

Hi Ken,

Nice job! My hangar mate is flying off phase 1 time on a XL-B. Now the fun really begins! Fly safe.

Ken; Would you believe Youtube BLOCKED your video in Canada!?! Yet I can watch it here above. Maybe a song copyright. So silly.

Glad I got to watch it anyway.

Nice work and congrats! The rest of the 40 hrs will 'fly' by! We are 1 year since AW cert. on our 650B with 350iS UL engine and Dynon SV ... 160 hrs so far and she has been excellent. Stay safe. 

By the way ... John Kaye would be pleased with your tune selection!
