First Flight--Moose N65NL

[tedwaltman]

Flew 2.3 hours today on first flight of Moose near Denver, Colorado. I bought this aircraft as a project a year ago. Has a 400 Hp electric start M-14P with a 3-blade Hartzell prop. Flights great hands off with relatively little trim input. Stall is in the low 50 knot range. I have to explore the envelope more of course in future test flights. Hope to see many of you on the list at Oshkosh (I'll have my other Moose at Oshkosh). Remember the builder party on Tuesday, the 30th in Homebuilt Aircraft Camping area at my Moose. Happy hour starts early <grin>.

Nice job, Ted. I remember seeing this plane before on Barnstormers. Let's get some tires on this bad boy, ok? I'm thinking some 35's woud be about right. Deb and I will see and everyone else at the builder's party. :) CW
