First Flight RV-8
Hi,
proud to announce my first flight that took place yesterday morning at my airport LIDT in northern Italy. I flew my RV-8 (82317) I-LUKE for 15 minutes over the airport at 3000 feet doing a clean stall. All the numbers was right and she flies hands off. That's the airplane that I wanted ! An incredible experience that gave me an irresistible euphoria that I can't control. Maybe RV GRIN ?
you can find some photos here : http://www.rv8.it/firstflight/index.html
and the video is here : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3eZOeyudUWs
In this beautiful community I found a lot of friends that are part of my project with helps, ideas and advices. I had the privilege to meet some of them at Oshkosh in 2006 and 2009 or in my home like my friend Mike Elliot and John Saunders. You're all great but I would like to give special thanks to Mike Elliot, Paul Dye, Mel Asberry, Pierre Smith, Bill Repucci, Kevin Horton, Vern Little, Mike Starkey, Brantel, Rick Galati, Gil Alexander and Chris Pratt.
Starting phase one !
