I am happy to report another CH650 inauguration as I took N987XL on its maiden flight last night at New Century Airport (IXD), Olathe, Kansas. All went well as I made 3 wide orbits at pattern altitude before landing. The airport is towered, so the only video I have is so far from the runway that you can’t even tell what kind of plane it is and not worth posting. Besides, the grin on my face would have blocked the view, anyway.
My thanks go to all of you for so many posts to the site and especially to Roger at Zenith Aircraft for so patiently putting up with years of questions. I hope to be beating more air molecules into submission soon.
