Its with great pleasure I get to announce the completion of First Flight  for N541RV,  previously known as,,,  serial 40176.   8 years  of work has paid off.

  

 4 pm today EST a smooth lift off, followed by a 2000 fpm climb to 4500  msl.    All went well,  airplane handles like a  dream.    Explored low speed handling including near stall with  flaps in and out,  all normal and within a few knots of Vanâ€™s  numbers.     Finished up with a smooth landing to cap off a  perfect experience.

  

  

 All equipment under the hood and behind the instrument panel performed  flawlessly.

  

 Wow, is all I have to say...

  

  

 Video to be edited and posted later this week,

  

 photos just prior to flight.

Great, Bob!  Congratulations!  There is no feeling in the world like making the first flight in an airplane you built yourself.

 If only I could have said the same thing on my first flight, high oil  pressure, high CHT, and constant â€œcheck blah blahâ€ on headset that really helped  with my first flight. In time it all went away with a little coercing from a  screw driver to get the ranges corrected.

  

 A testament to your great attention to detail before that first flight Bob!  congratulations!

Congratulations!

I like the paint job and hope the plane flies as well.   With some luck I may get air under my tires this summer.
