Default N728TT First Flight

I'm officially the owner of a flying RV-10 now! The flight was short, (3 circuits around the field -- first at pattern altitude, 2nd a low approach, 3rd the first landing). Thanks to David Maib, my transition instructor, the flight was a non-event and the plane flew as advertised. I do have an oil leak which appears to be at the filter, but I'll get that sorted shortly.

Congratulations Todd! Will you be able to make annual BD party at Cedar Meadows? It's within "The Cage" right? You will get the newest RV award

Vlad, thanks and maybe. Not sure yet what's going on that weekend plus it's hard to commit not knowing if I'll out be out of Phase I. I'll keep the party in mind though.
