Default New RV-12 flew today
Had the honor of doing the first flight of my friend's RV12 N792RV today. Flew great just like an RV should. First time I have flown a 12 and I really like how light and responsive it is. Couple of small adjustments and try it again tomorrow. Don

Actually both the owner and I are long time RV builders and pilots. He built a RV6A in 1997 and I did the first flight on that one also. I built a RV7 in 2007 and sold it in 2012. He is getting up in age and decided to go Light Sport. I will try and remember to get some pictures. Don
