Hey guys

Just a follow up from last week. On Friday 25/04/2014 rv6 VH-AJK took to the skies!

Here is a link to some video footage of the moment :)

Enjoy:rolleyes:

Took 2 days before I could get that RV Grin off my face, cant believe how amazing this airplane flies!
 
Awesome! Congrats, mate. :) Was the aileron trim off a lot? I noticed the wing rock just after rotation. Happens all the time on first flights of my r/c planes.
 
Wing rock

No we deliberately moved all the control surfaces just after rotation ailerons,rudder,elevators to confirm they respond as they should, if not it could still be put down on the runway remaining ;)
 
Congratulations

Nice job AJ! Great video. Do you have to fly off 40 hours of testing like we do here in the USA?
 
40hrs

Hi Spark

Yes I have to do 25hrs phase 1 and then phase 2 will be another 15 depending on systems like NFVR, transponder etc.

Itching to go back to the airport already :)
 
, I see something you need to fix right away



...Your signature line still says building, time to change it!

Congratulations on your first flight!
 
Good effort!

Hi AJ,
That's great news, well done. I might be able to say the same in another...who knows!?!
Congratulations again!
 
Very nice work AJ, congratulations. Enjoy and take care.

Time to update your signature!
