Group,
At 12:10 today another RV6-A took it's first flight from 10G-Holmes Co. I made a couple of laps to make sure everything was within perimeters and went South for ZZV-Zanesville and shot my first landing on runway 4. Smooth....no problems.
After a snickers bar I flew back to 10G at 20 Squared and indicated airspeed of 160 Kts. No heavy wing, no rudder tab needed!! I want to thank Vince Welch for always having the right tool when I needed to borrow one and his advice. Thanks to Keith Embry for his transition training which made this first flight safe and uneventful.
Keep pounding those rivets!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Congrats on the first flight. I am curious about your comment below about
using a "20 squared" power setting on a presumably new or fresh overhauled
engine. Would you comment on that?

Regards,
Hawkeye Hughes
