After 5 years and 2 weeks of building, I took my RV-7 up for its maiden voyage yesterday. I completed transition training with Mike Seager on Friday, so I was well prepared for the flight.
The flight lasted about 30 minutes and was completely uneventful. We orbited overhead at high power for 10-15 minutes and then slowed down for some slow flight and stalls. My buddy Greg flew chase in his Bonanza, and we were able to confirm the airspeed and altimeter readings are virtually spot on.
Here's a video of the first flight:
