First flight of N96KE was Tuesday 12/8/2015. This is my brother, Keith's, plane that I helped build. We used the Additional Pilot Program for the first flight. A 20,000 hour pilot with 1,000 in RV's went along with Keith. Airplane flies great. Equipped with Dynon Skyview, IO-540 and Constant speed MT-Prop.

Way to go! I've got a little over 12 hours left in Phase one down here in Adel on mine...you are going to really like it (not that you don't already).

Congrats!

Also, i would recommend getting as perfect a seal around the door as possible. IE, one piece. You will get an annoying whistling noise, otherwise. If you cant hear the whistling, dont worry about it. ;)
 
Need to acknowledge several who helped along the way:
Ron Russ spent many hours on the construction. Thanks to Kyle Boatright, Brian Urein, Dale Fowler, for help along the way and several guys who help cut/fit the fiberglas top.
