Hi all,
N924RV, my new RV-7A, took to the air yesterday for the first time. After flying in circles around the airport for an hour, no issues were found. The plane trimmed out fine and flies straight and level with no pilot input!
After flying more than 2900 hours in RV-6A's, this plane felt great. Much better visibility over the nose. The Mattituck TMX IO-360 180 HP injected engine runs great! Empty weight came out at 1185 lbs with no weight & balance issues through the full gross of 1950 lbs. There's a few calibration issue with fuel flow, and I need to learn how to use the GNS-480 and the GRT HS EFIS boxes (3), but otherwise, no real issues.
The 40 hour test period should go fast!

Congrats, Fred. I'm on the sidelines considering a 7A to replace my 10 year old 6A myself... your comment on the better fwd visibility is fuel for the fire, to be sure. With all the other irons in the fire, even a matched hole kit would likely take me longer than the 4 years I worked on the old-style 6A, but I sure am thinking about it.
Enjoy the fruits of your labor!

How is visibility much better than a 6A?
