N25SR First Flight

[Jerry Folkerts]

Today, at high noon, N25SR took to the skies for approximately 45 minutes. The flight was relatively uneventful with only a few minor discrepancies. Notably, the airplane was really fast and I wasn’t able to get it up to the 75% power range for adequate engine break in procedures. We had cloud cover at 2500 ft limiting my ability to climb. Consequently, it wanted to go too fast and I had to throttle back more than I wanted. It’s going to be a real performer. No adverse handling characteristics. Awesome landing. More pictures and video later as they come in from the ground crew.
