First Flight of N180PB

[Collin Campbell]

Finally made the first flight in my new Patrol. Tried to post last week but couldn't manage to post anything. Here's a picture. Let's see if this works...

Looking good Collin! So how did the first flight go?

Well done! How many hours went into it?
Thanks for the motivation!

Don't have a lot of numbers to report yet on the Patrol. Just enjoyed flying it for the first time! Love the center seating and the view over the nose is better than the 4-place and it's quite a glider, need those flaps to slow it down on landing! I need a rudder tab. (already had one made but thought I would wait to see how it flew before adding it) I will post more as I get some more hours on it.

Mark, don't know for sure how many hrs went into it. 8 yrs...just enjoyed the build process, didn't write a lot of it down. It was fun.

Don't worry Collin, you can fix that with bigger tires

Collin,
I thought I'd check back in with you. How is your Patrol doing?
Considering your build experience, I sent you a PM with a question or two.
