Posted for Jeremy Fisher <jffisher@gmail.com>:
After about 11 years of building, I finally flew my Lancair 360, N6ZY today
from Hicks Field. Larry Henney flew chase with my wife Susan on board as
official photographer. Some of her photos are attached. It handled
beautifully, even though we had the usual teething problems, including high
CHTs, an oil leak and the engine instrumentation system failed. But it was
an amazing experience.
It has an Aerosport Power IO-375 with horizontal induction, a Performance
Airmotive engine management system, Chris Zavatson's cowlings and plenum,
and a GRT EFIS.
I really have to thank Larry, who has acted as my EAA Technical and Flight
Adviser. He also came up with some last minute parts so I could fly, and
helped diagnose the various problems. Now I have to start the debugging
process and get her flying regularly.
