First Flight N554LH
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1JBMmdHLUR4
And yet another successful first flight test of an RV-9A. I did the flight yesterday, July 25, 2009 at Columbus, GA and couldn't be more excited and happy. As all the builders have reported its an amazing experience.
Thank you to the many people who have helped me during the last eight years with the big and small task and to everyone who posted information and asked the questions before me. I could have never done this alone. Thank you to Pierre Smith for transition training (it was my best landing yet Pierre).
Have fun at OSH everyone.

Sounded great, looked great, Lynn!
The woman commentator was a lot more nervous than the guy in 54L but she kept her cool.
Congrats to both.

Lynn,
What a great video! You might have been scared but guess what...YOU DID IT! I'm reminded of a great line in the movie "Tin Cup" when Roy McAvoy said "You define the moment or the moment defines you."
You certainly defined that moment Lynn and nobody can ever take that away. Many congratulations to you.

Congrats to Lynn!!
Hi Lynn:
I just watched your U Tube video with a big smile plastered all over my wrinkled old face.
You said:
"I don't know what to say?"
"I couldn't believe how good it flew?"
"My heart was racing the whole time."
Lynn, it's been 160 hours and after every flight I probably repeat those same lines with one addition: "UNBELIEVABLE".
Congrats my friend and welcome to the brother/sisterhood.
