Default 500 NM in 3.1 hours

Today 3 of us flew together; my 8 months pregnant wife carrying my future pilot
And I. My 7A took us to visit my father and mother in law this weekend, those aircrafts are amazing time machines

RV flight at 8 months.... Another few weeks and you can do another flight & deliver using the Robert Heinlein Maneuver.

:-)

Congrats on both the good flight and the pending copilot.

I'd say you had one heck of a tailwind, friend. RV's truly are incredible machines and congratulations on the pending birth of a new co-pilot.

AHhhhh - - now I know why you were driven to finish your plane so quickly. Early congrats on your new pilot!

More likely some headwind because his average is only 161 knots. Our -6A would easily run 170 knots.

Best,
