All,
Well, where does one start...such a perfect afternoon.
Piloted by test pilot Elliott Eaton my RV6, ZK-VRV (Kit #24692), flew today for the first time. I'm the second owner of the kit that was started in 1995. I wish to thank first owner, Frank van der Hulst for all the support that he's given me even after the kit migrated to my workshop.
She flew true and fast (165 kts at approximately 2500rpm). Basic equipment include a TMX O-360 (thanks Mahlon!) and a Sensenich FP of 85". A little envious that I had to watch from the chase plane, but that will soon be rectified.
A big thank you to all those who keep me out of work first thing in the morning when I log on to catch the latest news and the occasional 'drama'.
Regards,
Leonard
