First flight
I'm really pleased to report that on the 25th of October/2017, after a longer than expected build time, RV-7 C-FCSH took to the air for the first time.
Everything went as expected with no major issues. The left wing is a little heavy but was trimable, that'll be addressed shortly.
The time stamp on the video was out by a few years, ooops.
I can assure you all that it's a great feeling to fly the maiden flight, well worth all the effort. I completed 6.5 hours over the next few days, such a fantastic little airplane. LOVE IT!
Enjoy the video!
