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
