Thank you very much Bruce for your great report about my first flight.
and Thank you very much folks for your answers.
Sorry for my late response, but everybody flying an RV will understand me.
In about 2 weeks I flew now 15 hours AND I'm still dreaming. I first had to fly and I had NO TIME to look for anything else.
I love to look out my canopy (preferably at FL95 :-) ) and I forget anything else. The long, difficult and hard way is now turned into nice and enjoyable flights!
Please DO NOT try to do the same. Just do the RV's like VANs says and you will be without trouble. You will be really fast (with a Quick Build) and you will be flying within a reasonable time.
And another recommendation:
please use the ADVANCED instruments. In my opinion these are the BEST.
Okay?
Why did I try the stony way? Today I do not understand it anymore.
But I have a nice and unique RV. And I'm lucky: it's flying good.

What else you are interested in?
Now I have to wait for my engine to be inspected for the first time and so I will find some time to answer your questions.
@BRET: the LOM engine is made in Praque (Czechoslovakia) (it's a 1:30 hours flight from my airfield-that's why I decided to choose this engine)
The engine has 180 hp @ 3000RPM with compressor and has only 3,9 litres.
the engine is injected and has a very modern (gear driven) fuel pump.
That's why it is very economique and burns all kind of fuels (from 87 oct.)
(no diesel of course).... I hope this helps....
If you want to know more, please don't hesitate to ask me.
Thanks again
Klaus-Peter
