First Flight
N576RV took to the sky Sunday for a quick 20 min flight, and I am still alive to tell about it. Have a high cylinder head temp problem but over all the plane performs well. I am either running lean or do not have enough air flow dont know which and might be looking for some help  Lots of smiles
Thanks for your support.
John

first flight
Congratulations, John!
There is a lot of talent on the forums, but they will need some data/numbers regarding the engine/temps/etc.
Fly safely,

Congrats, but I second the motion on more details. Tell us in as many words as possible how great it is to defy gravity in a machine you crafted with your own hands. Or at least tell us which model you built. |

First Flight
Way to go John. This is an exciting moment.
I was battling the same gremlins. Being new to this I learned that ANY little disruption or opening will cause temperature problems. I went through and checked everything and after sealing a few very small openings my temps were much better. I was amazed at how a little hole can have such an affect.
This is a great time to be dealing with temperature issues.
Keep at it!!!
