First Flight! RV-8A N678PR
First Flight! RV-8A N678PR
Well, it's a project no longer. Airworthiness was Friday the 19th, First flight was .6 hours on Saturday the 20th. No real squawks. Put another 1.1 on the clock today.
I would try and elaborate about how great it was, but there's no way to put it into words. I'll post more info and link a video later....
Cheerio,
Guy

Way to Go!
Guy,
You must be a very proud fellow! The plane looks great. Have fun flying off the test flight hours. Now the tough part begins, what to do with your spare time in the evenings.
