After 9 years of building my RV-8 flew for the first time today! It flew strait, with no snags. The weather was a little cold (- 20 C) on the ground, but it was a little warmer at altitude. The cold weather and strong I0-360 MIB from Aero Sport and Hartzell blended airfoil made for a great ride. I am very happy with the MVP-50 and Grand Rapids EFIS in my panel.
Of course this could not have been done without the help of many people. A very special thank you to my Father, without whom, the airplane would not be completed. I also had a great flight test crew with lots of experience.
An extra special thank you to Van's for the pink cowling...
