Today N531PK mader her first (and second) flight. No issues. No heavy wing and no rudder input needed at cruise. I feel lucky. All engine gages in the green. It will take some getting used to the AFS 3500 EFIS/EMS after the steam gages in my six. MANY THANKS! To my wife Lori who put up with countless nights and weekends alone as I pounded rivets at the hangar. To Jerry Scott whose library of knowledge and helping hand was always graciously provided. To Todd Ehlinger for hanging around all TANK Day. To John Hughes, who I wish would start building again. And to the rest of the Chino Power Squadron, Dave K., Dan C, Ken J., Laird (honorary member) O., Brad, Scott, Eddie, Mike and Dan 0.5 for their encouragement over the last 4 years. The completion of a dream is never accomplished alone.
And now for the RV-8A pose......
