First Flight
FYI Heres a copy of an email just sent to Vans
Hi Vans,
Just a short note to advise RV 12 s/n 120261 flew for the first time on sat last as 19-7516, and has now done 6 more flights, all without any problems. It is a delight to fly and does everything as advertised. It took 12 months or 1000 hours with very little need for technical support ,which was readily available if needed.The excellent engineering and plans/ instructions make for a stress free build.Congratulations.
So thankyou to all the Vans team who make it all possible, and give so many of us so much pleasure building then flying your aircraft.
Regards
Roger Barlee

Another Oz RV-12
Hearty congratulations Roger - terrific news and you must be thrilled. I guess that'll make two RV-12s flying from Latrobe Airport now, and with Tony Earle's that makes three currently flying in Australia, with another 8 underway and three waiting on kits.
Any other Oz RV-12s flying that we don't know about?

Congratulations Roger but you make me feel late! With Kit #395 started in June 2010, I doubt I will fly in 12 months as you did.
Have fun flying since you just lost the fun of building!
