Fellow Rver's



Very pleased to report the first flight of RV6A serial number 25171 on Wednesday, April 12, 2006.  Don Stewart was at the controls.  Recent flights show 173mph true airspeed with an O320-E2D, Catto three blade,  and no gear or wheel fairings.  Empty weight came in at 1016lbs with no paint or interior.



Panel includes Dynon EFIS, RMI engine monitor, Lowrance Airmap 1000 panel mounted, Icom A200 com, Narco AT150 transponder, PMA4000 audio panel, Navaid wingleveler, LRI. Night VFR.



This has been a very pleasurable journey over 8.5 years of building.  Special thanks go to Don Stewart, Everett Anderson, Garry Anderson, Ron Busch and all the other airport rats in Menominee Michigan.  Also big thanks to my wife for understanding that this has been a long time dream of mine.



Regards,



Jeff Orear

Jeff, this is welcome news!



Fly safe and have fun.



I have a pretty good handle on the performance flight testing if you  

want advice or help running numbers, but the definitive source is  

Kevin Horton's site.



I expect a visit in 40 hours or so, I'll buy the ribs (I'll even buy  

the beer this time).
