After 17 months of work my father and I have completed our first build and just brought it from our shop to our hangar yesterday. The DAR is coming to inspect it next week and then we will be airborne finally.
VNE 130 mph
Cruise 105 mph
Stall with Flap 40 degrees 23 mph
Clean Stall 27 mph
Take Off Roll (1 person) 150' ft.
Take Off Roll (2 person) 300' ft.
Landing Roll 250' ft.
The panel, basic VFR with EFIS and backup A/S and ALT with mode C transponder for when I was to visit EWR on my days off. The lights on the far left are for water and land indications for the float gears. This is an older picture, we have since added the appropriate placards that label things such as gear up and down and the N number etc.
It is low and slow but the fact you can land it in under 250' (the factory was VERY conservative with their number) more than makes up for it. It is all set up and plumbed for floats and those will be going on mid August. I am looking forward to doing some real flying on my days off and cruising at 4 GPH of autogas.
