Waiex W0059
My Waiex flew for .6 hrs yesterday at Mt Washington Regional KHIE. It flew wonderfully, no surprises. The Viking engine ran perfectly and the heat supplied by engine coolant was quite welcome as the temp was in the 30s at altitude. So N59YK, my WaiKing, is now officially an airplane!
It was a long time in building due to many issues but well worth the trip. Thanks especially go to my ultra patient and helpful wife Cathy, Mike Smith for encouragement /help airframewise and Casey Lyon and Don Bowen with engine help/info. Of course thanks also goes to many unnamed others along the way. Keep on building it's worth it.
