took a bit longer than expected, started 11 years ago in Huntsville-AL. moved back to germany but then there was a 7-year project-interruption caused by things that can happen in life.
first flight was done by Sascha, CFI and very experienced RV-7-pilot. after that i joined him. she flies absolutley beautiful! no heavy wing, wonderfully balanced and powerful. i should not praise myself, but in this case i do: i did a great job!
all systems worked well. CHT #2 was a bit high and we had really terrible noise on the headsets during speaking. but we'll figure that out. i don't want to say much about feelings because i can't put them into words.
the 7 is not painted and looks somewhat rough, fiberglass not finished. i didn't even clean her but she is already the most beautiful aircraft ever built by somebody (at least in europe )
just a short annotation to the guys with similar project breaks: when i re-started after seven years, there was one week or so of head scratching. You need several days to get into the project again. but then it was like there hasn't been an interruption at all. really no big deal! the highest step is the first one.
and thank you all for the help... at this website and from friends. and special thanks to the TVRVBG... you guys have no idea how much positive impact you had on the project. the RV-community is just great.
Cheers
