First Flight for N616PM

Post by Paul Michel » Sun Feb 19, 2012 4:43 pm

Finally after 14 years of on and off building Rebel SN 374 took to the air
this morning.
N616PM has got a 2.2 L Subaru for the most part stock. Ross PSRU. IVO
magnum prop.
Only issue was a bad right brake on roll out.
That and auto fuel stains on the wing from a mud dauber filled vent line.
Blew them out the night before too!
Darn that's a good flying airplane!
Posted two pictures to the Rebel completion section. Can someone more
computer knowledgeable downsize them please. They are 2 M a piece.
Paul J. Michel

Paul
Looks great from the pictures and the smile. I like the white cabin --
brightens everything up. Way to go!
-Ben/ 496R 2/3 through the rivets ;)

Congratulations Paul,

I thought I was the only one that putzed around for 14 years before
getting in the air.

I'm still working trying to improve the airspeed indication. It is reading
11% too high across the range. Also have some radio noise that needs
attention. All our problems should be so small. Enjoy.

Mike / C-FNBO
