On Saturday, June 21, 2014, Sonex N439M made it's first flight from the 6B6 Minuteman airport in Stow, MA. The AeroVee powered, standard gear, plans-built aircraft flew perfectly during it's 20 minute flight. The 5 hours of time Mike received in a factory Sonex was extremely helpful in making the take-off, flight and landing a predictable affair. Thanks to all my friends who helped over the last five years, and especially to my wife Gail for her continuous support. A first flight video is here: http://youtu.be/sOp9UugkzC0

Everyone took video, and no stills, of the flight, so the best picture I have is a frame capture from the video.The other picture is a very happy me after landing.
