Barn Cub Flies
26. Dec, 2011 
8 Comments
After 61 years and six months the Barn Cub took off just after 5:00 Thursday evening. She flew well. Take off roll was very short due to a 12 knot cold front that knocked the temperature down from mid 50’s to 40. Everything checked out okay and it is still somewhat surreal. She was a lot of work. Total time on the airframe since new is now 198 hours and six minutes.
As for the bare fairings, those will be painted in the new year. Aside from that and a few small touches she is almost finished! Acknowledgement is due to the following:

Awesome Jared! You did a great job! I’m so excited for you!
Congratulations Jared. This is a great accomplishment!
Very gratifying to see/hear of your success. Admirable commitment. Congratulations!
Congratulations on the restoration. It is amazing to see the plane flying. I climbed around the plane as a kid in that old barn – always hoped it would fly again someday.
I am the 1st grandson to Charles Monroe Moseley. Mighty proud of you Mr. Jared Calvert. Thank You
