Hello All,
The airfield is CYBW Springbank just west of the Calgary
city limits in Alberta Canada. We are very lucky to be
located just east of the Rocky Mountains and have some
spectacular landscape to fly over.
The aircraft is powered by a TNIO-360 and the avionics
are by Advanced Flight Systems with a VP100 taking care of
the electrical duties. So far everything is working great
and our test pilot is having a blast with it.
In the interest of canopy safety I have added two limit
switches (one on the latch handle and one on the canopy
itself) that run in series powering the large red light on
the upper left side of the panel. There is also a canopy
unsafe warning that comes up on the EFIS screen. The canopy
seal pump is also defeated by the unsafe condition and will
not run if the canopy is unlatched. The large amber light
next to the red canopy unsafe light is a canopy seal pump
running light that lets us know when the canopy seal is
running. There is also an audible warning that triggers at
1500 RPM if the canopy is not latched. Trying to do
everything I can to remind the pilot and keep everyone safe.
Cheers,
Shane Daly

Our
new Legacy FG made its maiden flight this
week with great success! We are progressing
slowly up through the performance envelope,
but so far the plane flys straight and true
with no surprises.
Here
is a link to a video of the first take-off
on our Facebook page.
