Posted for "Mike Boxill" <mrboxill@online.no>:

Performed the first flight with my Lancair 320 MK11, LN-BOX, on the 23rd
March after
5 years and 3 months of building in my garage here in Stavanger, Norway.
It´s beautiful to fly. Have now completed 45 hours without any technical
problems
and aim for final CAA certification shortly.
Have installed standard Lycoming IO-320 with 3 bladed constant speed MT
prop.
Empty weight is 1153 lbs, CG 22.29 which brings me well forward.
The A/C cruises 10,000 ft at TAS 190 kts. Have flown it to Vne 235 kts
without vibr./flutter. Have installed the AOA Professional 11. This is
really
an aid to safe flight.
I´d like to thank all the guys at Lancair for a super kit
and very professional service during my building period.
Mike Boxill


[A very large congratulations goes out to you, Mike, for successfully 
graduating from Lancair builder to flyer.  Keep us apprised of your progress.
