On Tuesday October 16 N127KT The Dirty Bird flew for the first time. What a rush! First flight had a couple of squaks that were easily taken care of and the second flight went amazingly well!!!
It was just a few weeks shy of 8 years of building to get to this point.
A few specs:
RV8
Showplanes Fastback
Showplanes Cowl
200hp IO-360 built by Barrett Precision Engines with the Proteck EFII
Whirlwind 74HRT
Grove airfoil gear
G3X
FlyLEDs
JD Air tail wheel
many more awesome vendors
Empty weight 1035
Thanks all for the advice and encouragement along the way and a special thanks to DR for helping to make my dream of building and flying my own plane a reality.
Keep pounding those rivets!!!!!
