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.
