Congratulations. I first flew 107R a couple of months ago, and I know the feeling. Let us
know your performance stats once you get some hours and testing completed.

All,
Rebel #176, First flight today 9/4/2000 at AWO, 0.7 Hrs flight.

My Rebel is Franklin Powered (120HP Sport 4) Warp drive prop 3 blade square
tip, weight 915#, Empty CG at 10.3 on spring gear.

The flight went well, Ya, it flew just just right, well balanced and no
surprises.
Thanks for the landing tips, I don't know if I used them (still on cloud
9), but that was the best landing I have made in year.

Congratulations on First Flight!!!!!
I'll bet it was not only the best, but also the happiest landing you have
made in a year, being in your own brand new airplane!

Keep us posted on the future flights!

First Flight

Post by Al & Deb Paxhia » Fri Feb 17, 2012 10:04 pm

Hi Gang,
Today was the first flight of 026SR, 5 years in the building. All I can say
is rock solid airplane. I have only two squawks, the static port is on the
Pitot mast and is getting pressurized, airspeed indicated 60MPH until I
opened the alt static port, airspeed and altimeter then looked much better.
Second the engine baffle is rubbing on the cowl, baffle needs a trim.
As many of you have said stalls were a non event, clean 60MPH, full flaps 50
MPH, oil temp 190 in cruse and 225 during slow flight. I have 40 hours to
fly-off and my area is a 50 mile radius of Olympia, WA, if your in that area
give me a call and I'll drop in.
Keep building it's worth it!
Al

Congratulations Al & Deb. We are 5 years into the building of our "Elite".
90 percent finished so only 90 percent to go. We are having a fly-in here in
Kelso, June 8, and it would really be neat if you flew down here and won
first place of one kind or another. We are having old and custom cars, Young
Eagle Flights, maybe a power parachute and hopefully you in your "MOOSE" .
Again congratulations, Sam & Sandi Archer

Now maybe Deb can get you to knock off some of the "to do" items, from the
list on the fridge! Of course, only on the rainy days that is!!

Congratulations on your first flight.
We are getting close to our first flight, hopefully in July or August, the
main thing is we are waiting for our Lycoming 0-320 to come in June.
We are building 628R a Murphy Rebel. (this is my first email
to y'all) We are way down south here in Orlando, Florida, only
know of one other Murphy here in Florida, which is in Lake City.
If anyone else is nearby let us know, we would love to share ideas
and see your airplane.
