Howdy all!
March 27, 2005
At approximately 9am Arizona time, N194TC bored a hole in the
sky above Glendale airport (KGEU) and executed a nearly perfect
first flight.
N194TC is an RV-9a, s/n 90338 and is powered by an Eggenfellner
Subaru 2.5L normally aspirated engine running 100LL. The plane
is equipped for day/night VFR and has an MT electric c/s prop.
The left wing is only very slightly heavy. Otherwise, there are
no squawks. The engine and prop ran smooth with not one hiccup
in the entire RPM range.
I have put a detailed story with some pictures on my web site at:
http://rv9a.deru.com
The project took a total of four years - 1600+ hours of shop
time from first rivet to first flight.
Thanks to everyone for all of your help over the years!
