wrote: You should be aware, if you aren't already, that the first flight is deadly, statistically speaking. It's the single most deadly flight you'll ever take. Some numbers to go with that: The accident rate for homebuilt aircraft is about 1% a year. Coincidentally, about 1% of new homebuilts crash on their first flight. That means that the first flight packs a full year's worth of danger into a single takeoff and landing..... Ron Wanttaja
