I know it is =98Old Hat=99 nowadays but it was still a great 
experience for me. . . . 
On Thursday morning last, I conducted the first flight of Classic Mono 
VH-CUA from my home at Gatton Airpark in Queensland Australia.
The 45 minute flight was one of sheer enjoyment so to reiterate the 
advice of many others before me, I=99d just like to say to those 
still doing what I have been doing for so long . . . .  keep at it, the 
reward is worth it!
In anticipation of possibly having to do surgery to accommodate our hot 
conditions, I have not yet painted the engine cowlings or applied any 
pin striping but as things progress, those items will be forthcoming.
The main wheel fairing and outrigger fairings were left at home for the 
first flight too.
Attached photo was taken from the chase plane while comparing indicated 
airspeeds.
If interested, an abridged version of the flight can be seen at
