N798HJ First Flight This Morning!!!

Snuck out to the airport and took her around the pattern 3 times. I am in the DC SFRA so my options on the first flight were limited as I did not want to do a low pass over a mountain range on my first flight.

No one was there to witness it, but kind of wanted it that way incase things did not go well. So I really have no proof of the flight other than my RV grin :)

39.75 hours left to go!

Flew really well. RPM readings seemed off (was showing 2850 at one point) when I set power for 2600 RPM I was only doing 110 kts which seemed slow for the 10 on an IO 540. Trim tabs also move backwards from normal, easy fix in the G3X menus though.
 
Congratulations John. Like Pierre posted once, The more you fly the -10, the more you fall in love with it. You will now know why. :D
