  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
