Default First flight

After two years of sweat and fun, RV-12 N40RK, s/n 120622 took to the skies this evening for the first time. My son was at the controls. Approx 40 min flight. The only issues are slightly heavy right wing, and rudder trim tab needs to be adjusted more. He said it was a joy to fly.
