The weather gods took pity on me today and I was able to get in two flights. Landing was near perfect, engine runs nicely. Heavy right wing that I hope is due to the aileron trim springs. Plan is fly without them next. Thanks for all the help from those on this site and my local EAA crews. My wife flew with my Flight Adviser and took this shot, very nice.
Training besides some formation in the rear seat of a RV-8 I had two flights in an RV-7 with multiple landings with my flight adviser, I was ready after these but to make the insurance company happy I had to fly 1 hour dual in an "A" model with a CFI which I did in an RV-6A (thanks Joel). It chaps me that an EAA flight adviser carries not clout with the insurance company but it all worked out. I got in a second flight and it too was awesome.
It was a long 5 years but well worth the effort, yes 5 years with a quick build
Cheers
