Well he lit on the same fairway from which he departed. No fire trucks needed.

Made it to 425AGL. If it were a piper pawnee, he's achieved cruise altitude.

The demand for a pressurized low and slow kit plane with a 2 mile range is going to be off the charts! Can anyone think of a previous aircraft whose range and endurance were thermally limited and not fuel limited? I think he has something special here!

We're all on the edge of our seats  The FA track shows that he got it up to 725 feet, which if pressure adjusted may well be pattern altitude at VLD. 135 knots... He's cookin' it. That he made a complete circle of the field is interesting. I didn't expect he'd want to be aloft that long. The Blériot flies better and probably has more useful load.

His static port is so screwed up that it shows him being 100' AGL before he leaves the runway. I'm betting he never got higher than 500' AGL.
