I was visiting the Morristown, TN today to show an interested party (someone who is thinking of building a Legacy) my Legacy. When I got there I was told an ES was preparing to make its maiden flight. It was powered by a Corvette (I think) engine.

 

The takeoff looked normal, until about 2/3s the way down the 5700” runway. At that point there was fluid coming off the wings (I thought of fuel). The plane returned and landed, rolling to the last exit. It was shut down, without taxiing back.

 

I didn’t stay, so I don’t know what the problem was.
