There were times I wondered if the day would ever come, but after more than 12 years and 4 months of slow but steady progress, my RV-6A (s/n 23559) was declared airworthy on 17 Oct and I made the first flight the following weekend on 25 October. So far I'm just two flights and 1.3 hours into my 40 hour Phase I flight testing but the plane flies great and I couldn't be happier with it.
My setup is AeroSport Power O-360-A2A with Sensenich FP, weighing in at 1,065 lbs (empty wt without gear leg fairings, wheelpants, or paint).
