  A high speed nose lift; a high speed crow hop; and finally off and away
around the pattern; the 20B powered Velocity, N755V maid its maiden flight
yesterday, 8/04/06.  What an exciting milestone – even though in this case I
was watching from the ground as the test pilot did his thing.



  The engine performed well, and the pilot reported that all handling
characteristics were good.  The flight was short, however; because the oil
temp was 10-15F higher than the limit I had set, and the pilot did the right
thing in abbreviating the flight so that can be evaluated and changes made
as necessary.  All in all, with that as the only issue of note at this
point; it was a good day.



  I’ll have some photos and more info later.



  Al
