Bob Rogers Mustang II First Flight
On Wednesday, March 18, 2009, at approximately 10:00 a.m., my Mustang II took to the air for the first time. After almost 18 years of building (when time permitted), the first flight was exhilarating and deeply satisfying. The turbocharged Mazda rotary 13B engine ran well and all temperatures stayed in the green. It produced more power than I needed. The airplane is a joy to fly and made all the effort to build it worthwhile. I look forward to many adventures in the air after the initial 40 hour test period is flown off. See you in the skies!
