    Smile First Flight

    Today was the first flight of N782TB, plane flew great right out of the box, what a great feeling to feel it leave the ground the first time.

    HI,
    I was just wondering how the flying is going? I am thinking of putting one of my Hirths in my IV. I was wondering how hard it was to fabricate the motor mount?
    Thanks,
    Dave

    Mount fabrication was not bad at all. I like flying behind the Hirth runs great is smooth with good power. It has been good to me so far. Another gent building a kitfox used a early 582 mount with a lower plate came out looking like a super install very clean work on fabrication.
