Finally...
... after 3.5 years of building my RV7A, I decided it was time for first flight. I went out to Barkarby airport, Stockholm. Early, before sunrise, I made all preflight checks, made engine runup, lined up on runway 24 with no other traffic in pattern. I decided that one more high speed taxi test couldn't hurt. Then I lined up for take off. Hard to describe but I caught it on video

With this post, I would like to thank the VAF community for all support and information that is priceless when building these beautiful aircrafts. Thanks!!!
And, keep pounding those rivets
Fredrik

Nice Video
Congratulations on your first flight. Nice Video; It took me a second to recognize the soundtrack. Interesting twist on in Iron Maiden tune...

Grattis till din f?rsta flygning!
Hej Fredrick
Great video of Stockholm at sunrise; nice job on the first flight.
It is cool to watch the VSI and altimeter go up so fast - these are great planes.

Thanks Guys!
Hey! I'm not the only one here speaking Swedish (Dave C)?
I'm sorry about the link, stumbled on the keyboard 
Here is also a picture (bad quality) from just before takeoff. Still some decorative striping to do.

Congrats!
Congratulations Fredrik!
I actually work 5 min from the airport (big greenhouse lookalike on long final for 24) and would love to drool over the plane some day when you are at the airport.
I have sent you an email with my details.
Studying for my ATPL right now but will start an 7A as soon as I am finished with all of the 15 books and the ME, CPL, IR thing....
Take Care
