Hey  Gang,

  

 I just wanted to let  you know that my RV-9 flew its maiden flight this morning.

  

 Tad flew wing w/  Radomir riding shotgun.  Dale provided great insight and was a big help  when one of my P-mags decided to retime itself and attempt to destroy my engine  on the 2nd flight.  After we set the timing back to where it belonged, the  third flight was uneventful.

  

 Everyone hears how  slow a -9 can fly but I was mesmerized by the airspeed indicator sitting just  above 40 mph when it stalled with full flaps.

  

 All three landings  were done with an approach speed of 65 mph and I think I might be able to work  it down to 60 after I get some more time in this thing.  That long, flat  bottom wing really doesn't want to stop flying.

  

 I'm exhausted and  need a shower but the best way to see the pictures and read more about it is  from this thread Radomir started on the VAF forum:  http://www.vansairforce.com/community/showthread.php?p=144720&posted=1#post144720

  

 Thanks everyone for  the help!  It really does take a village to build and RV.  (Before you  say it Tad, I wasn't saying a village of idiots.)

Congratulations, Bill (and Nora)

  

 The kind of first flight everyone should have - even the P  mag problem was the right touch.  Gets your attention and Reminds you we  are violating the laws of gravity - but easily fixed.

  

 Great photos by Radomir and ones to remind you of this day  for the rest of your life (as if you would need any reminders).

  

 Fly safe

  

 Ed

Bill,

  

 Congratulations!  I'm betting that there is  no doubt that all the endless hours of drilling, dimpling, deburring and  riveting were all well worth the effort.  Well done.

Excellent, Bill.



Of course, I want to hear all about the Pmag issue when you have time.
