Rick,

 

Congrats!

 

Uh, the 320 slow build kit contained at least 121,432 parts, not to mention all the extra hardware obtained from Ace and various race shops.  It also consumed 19,123 sheets of sandpaper.

 

Comments:

The flaps are flying too high in pic # 1 and 2.

In all pix, the left aileron is below the wing tip fairing usually indicating a heavy left wing (very common).  Re-rigging the flaps can help with the heavy wing condition.

Lancair Friends,

 

Put your hands together for Rick Cathriner's most excellent 1st Flight. N41LA Certification occurred earlier today with a very complimentary "no squawks" report from his DAR Dave Eby.

 

N41LA took to the sky's today after a 22 year gestation.  Lady's and Gentleman I suspect we have a record.  Airborne initial testing shows again, no gripes, fast and true.  Builds Slow, Flies Fast! Does anyone remember how many pieces came in the original 320 slow build kit?!!!

 

Still wishing someone would step up with a Riechal Trim system.  Anyone, anyone? Bueller?  I think we'll reverse engineer one from a local 320 flyer......

 

Congratulations Rick on a Job Well Done!  To you builders out there, never give up!  To the flyers, meet Rick for lunch sometime.  He's earned at least one free trip to the Hard Eights BBQ in Stephenville (SEP).

 

Way to Go Rick!

 

Larry Henney
