Any word on how the test flight went...?

AOK, I linked a video of the take off on the WIX FB page. Unfortunately, it's embedded so you can't post it here.

Why can't i find the WIX FB page????? I have a Facebook account but can't find the WIX page.

The issue was a fuel leak. A couple of new gaskets fixed it. It is on the way to Bridgewater Virginia right now...

Columbine II landed safely in Bridgewater this afternoon ~2pm. Sadly, she passed just beyond visual range of me.

They plan to complete the restoration then take it on the airshow circuit.

I was lucky enough to catch Columbine II as she passed over Bristol, TN on her way to Bridgewater, VA.
Thanks to BK for keeping me informed on when she was coming by.
