First flight for N229Zulu
November two two niner Zulu flew for the first time on Sunday June 20th!
Jeff Point graciously performed the first flight and did a fantastic job!
I'll fly it when I'm ready. I've been working on my tailwheel endorsement in a Decathlon and am close. I'll need some more time transition training as well with only 4 hours in an RV-9 recently.
All teasing aside, Jeff did a great job. There are a couple of things to work through, but the flight was drama free!
We'll get back to more test flying after Oskosh!
Thanks to all here who have helped with knowledge and advice, and of course to Doug, for hosting such a wonderful site!
Here's the video!

Great video! Congratulations on having a flying RV. One question, how did you get the info on the borders of the cockpit video?
Thanks

I used a Garmin Virb. It has a built in GPS and using their editor you can link the GPS track to the video with some optional displays.

Congrats Jesse on a job well done. The plane is well built and flies well with just a few minor squaks. Look forward to more test flying after Oshkosh.
It was my worst RV landing in years- I'm glad you got it on video!

Kudos to you for building a tailwheel without the endorsement. You'll love it.
