Congratulations Adam,
You made it look easy. I'm at year 6 in my build of L2K - 201.
Your smiles are well deserved.
Cheers,

Subject: [LML] First flight N181AM
After 10 ½ years of building,
Lancair Legacy #151 few for the first time on April 3, 2012. The flight lasted
40 minutes. The plane handled well and the engine ran smoothly. I kept the gear
down and flew conservatively following the AC90-89A first flight guidelines –
level off at 3000’ to check controllability, then climb to 6000’ for some slow
flight and simulated approaches to landing. The airplane handled like the other
two Legacys I’ve flown with no surprises.
The only squawks were a pitch
trim that operated backwards (duh!) and a couple of nuisance oil leaks. Now
it’s on to expand the flight envelope and fly off my 40 hours!
