Another RV took to the air today. With Robbie Attaway at the controls, 717EE, my RV7 took to the sky in sunny AZ. I flew chase with Don Procise in his 6 and Don Pierson flew with his son in his 7 and got some video. Robbie said it is one of the best he has flown with the engine running great smooth, with lots of power. The ECI IO 360 performed flawlessly. The Emag/Pmag systems worked great as well.
The only problem was the engine monitor (AF2500) went flat line about 15 minutes into the flight. We're trouble shooting the problem now. All other system worked great. No oil or fuel leaks and the temps were great.
There are many to thank. Most importantly Robbie Attaway who kept me from selling everything after the $27,000 Crossflow deal. The other two main players that kept me in the game were Rosie with his endless encouragement and brother Dan who perservered my occasional clueless questions. Finally, my airpark neigbors who were always there when I needed a hand. Many other were there during the process.
Although there are a few challenges yet to conquer, I've seen my plane fly!!!! I can now echo those words that I've seen and heard for two point 5 years, "KEEP POUNDED THEM RIVETS." Now I need some sleep.
