Orville and Wilbur would have been proud, as I'm sure you are!

N77LY made its first flight on July 25, 2003 with pilot Brian Gallagher
at the controls and wife Jamie to knock down the gear if it got stuck (
which it did). Four trips around the pattern. Brian stated it handled
beautifully with the side sticks. The 340hp turbo charged IO-540
hiccupped a bit but ran strong and fast, but needs a bit more twicking.
In all a beautiful and exhilarating sight.
