90989 Flys

[FrankK90989]

Hi All.
At 9:51 CST my RV-9A left the runway (HIB) on its maiden flight. I stayed aloft for .9 hrs.doing the prescribed first flight tests and just some fun flying.
Build time was just over 2years 2 months. Lycoming D2j, Dynon 100+120,
Icom radio, Garmin xponder and a bunch of my own weird stuff.
The plane flew great!
Thanks to my lady Yvonne, friend Bill and all the helpful people on this site.

Regards.

Beautiful plane. We all need more pictures, please!

I needed a shot in the arm to get back on my RV-9A. That did the trick.
