Beautiful paint job! If you don't mind, can you please give your thoughts on the Aeroled tip light performance? Those are my lights of choice at the moment versus leading edge. I've heard many stories of poor performance in the tips of -7s/-8s, and the -10 is further outboard still. Have not, however, heard many reviews of the new Aeroled tip lights.

Ladies and Gentlemen, may I present G-RVVY. Nearly 8 years in the making.

Aerosport IO-540, Garmin stack and Dynon Skyview EFIS/EMS. Upholstery by Flightline Interiors.

Engine runs and taxi tests complete with only minor snags apart from the right brake which pretty much disintegrated...... Left is fine so suspect either jammed on, contamination of the pads or a manufacturing fault. Investigation on-going.

Just completing the paperwork and hope to have Permit to Test next month.







Suggestions for a name welcome - "The Groovy Goose", "The Groovy Mule" .... can't seem to get anything that really fits!

Congrats!

Now all you need are some extended range tanks and fly it to Oshkosh.

Looks excellent! Good luck with test phase. It might just be me, but when I see that tail flash I think, "Gravy Train."

Mike

Rear centre piece is an option from Flightline. Includes two cup holders, a pouch each side and storage in the front for a phone and pen.

Thanks everyone for the kind comments. Had everything signed off today so just waiting now for the UK bureaucracy.
