ZU-JAD First flight

[Janekom]

On the 7th of October our RV7A has done it's maiden flight with Chalkie Stobbart at the controls. It took about 2500hrs over about 22 months. To our knowledge this is RV7A number four in South Africa. Everything went OK exept for a slightly high oil temp and that I believe will be fixed with the new Dynon firmware.

You can view our builder's site at www.tilt-tech.co.za/rv7a.htm and look under latest for a short video on the flight. Also visit www.avcom.co.za and under "General" look for Jan's RV project to see the comments.
