Only those that have had the thrill of building an airplane and being on
board for the first flight can understand the excitement that I had today
for first flight of 241JT. After 11 years and building shops in three
states, I now own a used airplane. It flew level and hands off but oil
temps got high way too fast. After looking it over back at the hangar, I
discovered that the flapper valve in the handy dandy heater that I
engineered (?) closed, apparently due to air pressure, blocking off much of
the cooling air. We'll try it again tomorrow. I was assisted in first
flight by Steve Murphry. I probably won't sleep tonight! JT
