VH-XJL First Flight
I'm happy to report VH-XJL got off the ground from Caboolture 21st AUG 2011, she has now gone from a kit to an aero plane.
All went well with only a slight heavy right wing, this is normal and can easily be fixed.
OAT was 18 C , engine temps on climb out around 370 F, the engine rings still need to seat in.
GPS / IAS showed around 150 kts.
Too many people to thank that helped me get to this point, you know who your are, once again THANK YOU !
I had better go and clean some bugs of the windscreen now

Flies OK, will need a few tweaks here and there but overall, it went very well. No turnbacks for problems, just got in and flew.
Jamie has done an excellent job indeed.
................and now I have another RV to play with at Caboolture |

CONGRATULATIONS
That is an aircraft that anyone would be proud to say they built it. Congratulations Jamie, well done mate.
Ok, now that Dave has been for a burn in it, when are you taking it up?
