So tell me how it went with some detail. Did you feel any pull left or right? Any heavy wing? And trim challenges? Did you have any cross control needs or attitude issues? How long did you fly? What was on your mind about what might happen?
I'm asking, because I'm getting close to first flight. I plan to get a few days of training in a similar RV-7A. And I'm wondering, what will I do if after lift off the plane wants to hard turn right, or pitch up. Will I have to fly with very un trimmed stick? Might be a challenge.

Sglynn don't worry about take off ,There is no tendency for hard turn.The only thing that is surprising is how fast you will be in air so increase the power slowly to have more time.
My first concern for the first flight was to check the temperatures as my engine is equipped with 2 Pmags so the flight was short (1/2 hour).
Today I made an another flight with more time to look at the ball.
The ball is centered in cruise flight and there is no noticeable heavy wing.
i made a stall and there is nothing special to say.
At hight speeds trim response is too fast so I have to set a slower speed motor in the Dynon for the next flight.
