Sweet! She's beautiful. You're going to have even more fun flying her.
And kudos to John. He looked very composed ... for a flyoff. 
Be sure to come see us on E Apron if you need any help during the Test Phase. |

Tom built a nice ship! No squawks to speak of and the engine is just so smooooth. What a great airplane; roomy, nice handling, tons of power. That glass panel though, dang... I felt like a dog watching TV; it took some getting used to with so much info on multiple screens. The dual screen G3X system looks better than the 737NG at my day job! The problem is, now I kinda want a G3X upgrade to my RV-8 panel, but I dunno, it's a lotta coin and my mission doesn't really need it... and I'm used to my 2005 vintage caveman steam gauges. And did I mention the roomy cabin? With that vast bubble canopy, it's sorta like sitting on a big, comfy couch just up in the open sky. Pretty cool...
BTW, like Tom said, the idle speed is a bit high; I normally don't taxi fast as in the video, but I couldn't slow the thing down... we gotta tweak that down just a tad.
