Greg---I too would like to offer my warmest congratulations on this great event! I remember you and I talking early on in your build. Gives me pleasure to see another of my friends fly their creation for the first time.
Be safe, and enjoy!
Tom

Congratulations. Will be interested to see how the WW prop does for you once things settle in.

Congratulations my friend! I'm glad to hear you got it airborne! 165 kts might be a little high with no wheel pants, what was your GPS giving you for a ground speed? With wheel pants and similar configuration (James cowl, IO-360) I can push a little over 170 steady state at full power in my 9A.

Congratulations Greg, glad to hear you have made such a great accomplishment. Few people have done so. As fun as the build has been it will now double with the use of that thing.

Congratulations Greg!
I will be running the same combination - IO360 and WW 200RV prop -
Look forward to your stats once broken in.

Congrats!
Congratulations Greg! Now we have 2 Flying RV's in Glasscock County!..... About 4 years ago, my brother told me a Guy was building a Vans RV in St Lawrence and we went and looked at it. The minute I laid my eyes on that project and talked to Greg I knew I was in trouble! Greg's guidance and encouragement was priceless to me and I'm sure I wouldn't be flying my own RV7 if it hadn't been for that visit 4 years ago and all his help along the way!
Congratulations again on the Beautiful Bird Greg!

Let me get my Phase I knocked out, and we'll meet up to try out our different props against each other!

Agreed - I suspect that may be a bit high, either through pitot/static error or the bumpy air and I was descending for that, not sure yet. I was pretty busy on the first flight and the air was bumpy, I'll graph out the Dynon data and compare IAS/TAS/GS alongside VSI and see if I can spot some something more realistic. Work is going to have me pinned down for a few days before I get to fly again.
