After 3 years and 2 months, N168LW took to the sky for the first time on 5/27/2014 for about 40min. After slight trimming, it flew hands off. First flight showed that I probably need half ball right rudder trim, but I will live with for now until I have a better feeling about the trim. No major squawks. FWF is as clean as before the flight, no leak, no chafing. Some minor things to work on. Got some radio interference when strobe is on, not bad, just annoying. Also, the Van's stall warner came alive too early, so I got this LOUD warning sound during my entire landing flare, until the airplane slows down to taxi speed. I will have to tweak the angle a bit. Maybe once I have my AOA calibrated, I will just disconnect the stall warner.
