Congratulations Bill.  It is a great feeling when you finally go from "project" to "airplane".  Great going!

Today I did first flight in a "Rotary Powered", KIS Cruiser N343BS . Total flight time (hanger to hanger ) was 30 minutes. Three circuits around the airport and land since the wind was coming up and getting gusty.

 

Have some rigging to do, was right wing heavy.  Engine ran okay, still not used to the sound at cruise, but that will come with time and experience.

 

oil temp peaked at 210 into the engine during climb and water at 188.  Air through the radiator is heated 100*F .

 

More Later,
