Default Getting close, need a test pilot for RV-7

Hey all, I am shooting for a maiden flight in March-April. I have limited time in tail draggers and live on a 21' wide runway. So, I am not going to let my ego get in the way and convince me to do my maiden flight by myself. Anyone know someone in the Houston area that is willing to be a Qualified Observer in my maiden flight? I plan on taking off from my home field and landing at a nearby public airport with a much larger runway.

If you have a problem finding a pilot, I have flown the maidens on several RVs. I will be in your area mid April on my way to Mississippi from Arizona in my RV-7.

Happy to help if you're in need.

Bob

Bob, your response is why this is such a great forum. I'm lucky to have found it.
