First tailwheel RV took off in Russia. The aircraft was assembled and painted by CetusAero engineers.
Flight testing and certification requirements for aircrafts in Russia are pretty much the same both for 200 ton bomber and 0.5 ton kitplane. RV7 performed flawlessly and pleasantly surprised professional test pilots.

Touch and Go
High G turn
Test pilots are satisfied. This thing flies good!
Why said that RV7 is too small? There is enough room for two beefy pilots and one midsize mechanic
Mission accomplished (or not?) Taxi to the ramp
