This afternoon, EAA Hall of Fame builder Jim Swick's last aircraft took to the skies.
Jim passed in 2010 just before his latest clip wing T-Craft creation was ready to fly.
His son Mike passed in 2010 so the project has sat mostly idle for the last couple of years.
I was honored to have been asked by the family members to make the inaugural flight, and aside from a few snafus, everything went very well.
The engine is a Rotec R-2800 - a 7 cylinder 110 horsepower radial engine
