It flies....yaaaaaaah

Thanks to Test-Pilot Norm (RV6-7-Rocket flyer) for the flawless flight. He did 2 flights today of about 30 minutes each.

From One Pete to Another

Pete,

Way to go! I hope to join you very soon. Paint next week and then final assembly of my RV-9A.
 
Congrats Pete!

That is great news. Want to come and help me finish mine? It looks like I'm still 6 to 12 months away from my first flight.

Yes, and post some pictures.

Congrats, Pete. Too bad Norm Younie had all the fun. I keep my 9A in Langley. When you've flown off your hours, fly over... there's a bunch of RV's here that would love to give your airplane the white glove treatment.

We got another hour in today. The left wing is slightly heavy. But everything else is working....that means learning curve..specially the programing of the GRT EIS 4000

Yaaaah

Great looking plane Pete. When I get my 7A done, I'll have to pop up and visit. Or maybe I'll make it down to the homecoming in a spam can.
