Happiness is a successful maiden and even better during the next two follow-ons; hotter than blazes today with plenty of humidity...no shade (thunderstorms yesterday tore up the shade canopy); anyway... muffler system passed the 94 dB sound check with ease.
I guess I had too much coffee...couldn't get my fingers to stop shaking during the maiden

Plane flew nice and gentle...flying it a tad nose heavy as recommended for the first couple of flights. Engine sputtering a bit; instructions accompanying the engine were straightforward...leaned out the low end a tad...good transition...better in-flight engine characteristics...plane handles very well...stalls are very predictable and plane handles suprisingly well at low speeds. Spent most of the first two flights flying approaches to get used to the field again and to judging landing speeds. Third flight I took it up to altitude and tried some Y&B (yankin & bankin)...what a hoot! Does more than I know how to do.

Very satisfied and looking forward to tomorrow - weather should be cooler, too!
