RV-3B G-HILI Flies
3 flights, and ~1hr on G-HILI today
IO-320 [160HP], VP MT Prop, Basic Wt/CG 733lbs 57.59". It took the 3rd takeoff before I got full power on it
No major snags, albeit naturally some more fine tuning needed than the more modern kits
YouTube Video [NB I always do an aborted takeoff prior a 1st flight]
