Default First flight of 304S!

I really appreciate all the great shop pix. Their tooling and CNC
tooling looks very nice.

there's a lot of testing done and not a lot printed or yet published and a
whole lot more testing and documentation yet to be done....they have just
complete the very first flight after nearly 4 years in
development.....you'll have to wait until they catch their breath to get
detailed reports but you can see from my website and from theirs a brief
description of what has been going on until now and I think you'll agree
there is already more information released by this manufacturer then most.

Tim, is there some documentation (design features description, test
results, engineering calculations, etc) that backs up their claim the 304S
cockpit is superior to the other manufacturers?
