First Flight of N4822C
I did the first flight of my RV-9A today. It was amazing. Everything worked, there were no surprises, and the aircraft flies beautifully as many already know. Many thanks to Tanya for driving all of those rivets (slow build), and Stu for flying chase. I can't say enough about this great experience (more on my build log), but just a couple pictures can tell most of the story.

Just look up. I'm sure it will pass over you at some point. I have a 300nm radius fly off area, and intend to cover every inch of it  .

AWESOME! Great to see a 9A flying...very motivational. We spent most of today pounding rivets, so someday we'll be flying too!
