More to come once I can gather the best pics from the different cameras...video later..
Flight went well. There was an issue with front baffles behind the spinner. I had left them too long and they were vibrating against the screws that goes on the inner inlets. That cut the first flight a little short because I did not know what the noise was. Landing was OK!
The airplane flew great. Straight and true!
The second flight tonight was even shorter as I just took off and landed. The floor was vibrating and it scared me a little bit but now I understand that vibrating foot wells on an RV are sort of normal. I am double checking everything out to make sure. Landing was great!
Many thanks to all who have helped in some way on this project. Special thanks to Bob Dougherty, Tim McGinnis and my uncle Al for all their help! Thank my wife for hanging in there and tolerating this dream and thanks most of all to God for allowing me the privilege!
