For those keeping track, another joins the flying ranks. I posted on the

Van's first flight page and thought I would post here as well. Although I

don't post much, I follow the posts daily and appreciate the wealth of

knowledge. Thanks to all who have gone before me! 

I am pleased to announce that N253RV made its first flight with

Owner/Builder on board Sunday evening Jan 22, 2011 out of KDQH (Douglas,

GA). The flight was very un-eventful - as I had hoped it would be. The

actual first flight (test pilot in command) uncovered an electronic ignition

timing issue (builder induced) that generated high engine temps. This now

resolved - things are looking great.



The aircraft is powered by a first time rebuild IO540 (LightSpeed electronic

ign. + Magneto) with the Hartzell constant speed prop. The panel centers

around a twin Chelton EFIS, AF3400 Engine Monitor, PMA8000 Audio, TruTrak

Digiflight II A/P, and Garmin SL30/40 nav/coms.  Panel by Stein Aircraft and

interior by Flightline interiors. The frame was quick build wings and all

else standard. The total projects weighed in at 1698# w/o paint.



I would like to thank a few folks: My wife and riveter Donya who has named

the plane "The Mistress". Stein who really came through with a beautiful

panel in the midst of the D2A fiasco.  Vic Syracuse - DAR and initial test

pilot, and David Maib who provided some additional last minute transitional

stick time, and the whole group of folks on the RV-10 Matronics list.

Thanks to all!
