Brief Description: First Flight of N255DK

First flight today. Flew out of Manassas airport on a near perfect day (clear skies, no wind). In spite of the relatively high traffic level and hassles of flying inside the Special Flight Rules Area zone around DC, tower did a great job of giving me my own little space to perform the tasks in my flight test checklist. Here's a video of my initial takeoff. The only surprise was how powerful the ULPower engine was for such a small airplane. I was off the ground before I reached full power.
