Sunday, April 10 2016 marked the second year anniversary of the first flight of my 601. The celebratory flight on Sunday ticked the Hobbs to 400.6 hours. In two years, from my home base in the northeast, I've had my 601 as far west as Oshkosh and as far south as South Carolina. I still have a big grin on my face after every flight!
The airframe and engine have performed well and I couldn't be happier. To those of you in the building process I say keep at it and do something on your plane everyday, no matter how small. The reward in the end is amazing.
