Today at 12:30PM Eastern Daylight Time, my RV-6, N164ME, took to the air for the first time! Thanks to Jim Lawrence for performing the flight for me, and also Scott Will, who flew me in his RV-7 as a chase plane.
The flight lasted 30 minutes over Cherokee County Airport (KCNI) in North Georgia, during which the 3.0 liter Subaru H6 performed flawlessly. The plane has a slightly heavy left wing and needs a touch of right rudder, so there will be a little adjusting to do. A second, 45 minute flight this evening also went great.
Thanks also to Vic Syracuse, who performed DAR duties yesterday, and Jenny Estes at NationAir, who was super fast getting an insurance policy activated on the plane.
It's been a good day!
