40 hours flown off!
It took nearly a year to get 40 hours flown off my RV6A, thanks to a weird disease called Sarcoidosis striking me in April of this year. My building partner, Mindy class got the first flight at 40.6 hours. She was a big part of the 5 year construction process. Thanks to WC Aircraft of Boone for technical support through the build, Rob Hickman for solving my AFS install issues, and Aeroflow Performance for troubleshooting some fuel injection squawks. She trues out at 173 kts and sounds great with the WW74RV prop.
