Yesterday was a special day for two reasons, the first is it was my 50th birthday and the second was it was the day my 7 year, 7 month and 15 day RV-8 slow build took flight. The flight was thoroughly planned out with the help of airshow performer, LD Jefferies who would fly chase for the flight. Taxi out, takeoff and the subsequent 1 hour flight went smooth without any flying issues. Ailerons trailed evenly and no heavy wing. The IO-375 from AeroSport powered the Hartzell composite propellor and felt like a rocket with its performance. All engine indications were perfect and the engine break in went smooth. The RV grin is a real thing...and I have it!

I want to say thank you to my mentor, repeat RV-8 offender and Lindy winner, Glenn Vokac, for his friendship and guidance!
Thank you to LD Jefferies from Lil Devil Airshows for your chase/wingman skills!
