First Flight Sonex 1081 VH-YSX

Postby Sonex-1081 » Sat May 30, 2015 8:43 am

Successful first flight 30 May 2015...

Happy to report all went to plan. Sonex 1081 flew straight and level hands off on the first flight. 5 more flights made for a total time of 1.2 hours - well and truly enough for the first day.

Jabiru 3300A with AeroInjector and Sensenich W54SK -64G - all performed perfectly.
