RV-10 First Flight :-)
I completed the maiden flight yesterday in my RV-10 !! I wanted to get it done before the spring snow storm we have going on today !! These aircraft are the ultimate in delayed gratification. She fly’s great. All the engine CHT's and EGT's were very reasonable. I closed the cowl flaps right after take off. The engine oil temp leveled off at 206 degrees, and i was running WOT at 5500 Ft. I saw at one point 178 knots TAS straight and level. Now on to the flight test program and teaching myself how to work all the whiz-bang goodies and features in the Garmin avionics and autopilot. I've flown a Super 8 for years, but I am rapidly getting to love this 10 !
Here are a bunch of pictures from the event:
Waiting for my chase plane and friends to show up.
Pulling her out. You can see John Hubble's beautiful 10 in the background.
Strsight on view.
Some of the details, thanks to Aerosport Products.

Taxiing out.
It's done !! I can even use the plane for another day too !!!

That sounds right. I bought the untouched kit from John and Karen Agee. Let them know that it's flying next you see them:-).
