FWIW, KAEG has long runways and a tower that is friendly and not very busy. With big flat fields around it, it's an ideal place for a first flight. There is a good EAA Chapter with a lot of builders there. I know the Tech Counselor and Flight Advisor there and would recommend working with him to prepare to fly your plane.
