October 1 2006!!! The long awaited day. Julie flew it first, as that was my gift to her on her birthday Sept. 8th. Then it was my turn!!! We are both high time CFI's. I have flown maybe hundreds of planes, but none as delightful as this one. Feels a lot like a T-6 with the light controls. Have to do a little rigging, as we have to use a lot of right rudder, but just a very easy aircraft to fly!!!! I had flown the factory demo at Sun & Fun and had a good idea of how it flew, but to fly and have more time to play with it is outstanding. We have a lot of little bugs to work out in the electronics, but doesn't everyone??? The DAR gave us 50 miles due to speed and 40 hours because of the aerocomposite prop. Which is so smoooooooth. This engine (new) and prop combination is almost as smooth as a turbine!!!!!! (no lie) A little tweeking this morning and fly all day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Keep building guys!!!!!!!! It is worth all the time and pain.

Congrats Julie (since you flew it first), and Jim too. 
Glad to hear it went pretty well. How far out was the
ball that you needed right rudder, and was that with
or without wheel fairings?

Jim,
I tried to email you offline, but I always get bounces when
I do. If you have a different email address that you use,
shoot it to me offline and I'll use that one.

Ok I will try and answer all the question in one reply
Brian Having some start up problems with BMA, but they are great folks to work with and should have things sorted soon. Looks like great equipment so far.
Tim, changed my email on this site, had my old one on, try the new one.
Also the rudder was out a full ball. Dropped my right flap a little, helped, but went on and put a rudder trim tab on and all is well now. That is with wheel fairings.
John, it is the new I0-540 Van's sell. Attaching a pic. Will have some flying soon and a few of the panel lit up!!!

Jim and Julie,
Congrats on the first flight. I know how excited you both must be. Especially after building a slow build kit in a year and a half! Your plane looks great!
Hope to hear more of your phase 1 testing when you get a chance.
Did you buy the "Experimental" version of the new Lycoming?

No Zach, the certified on Van's sell. I don't usually keep planes long, so I build with the idea I might sell one day, so I go with what I feel will be what they want. However I have a feeling I will keep this one a lot longer than most. There is nothing out there at the price that will touch it in speed manuverabilty and looks.
