Looks like this weekend is a popular date for first flights. Yesterday 2GB (AKA the Pink Panther for now) took to the air for the first time.
My wife still has to climb a latter to get to me, I am so high.
What a great plane the -10 is. A real pleasure to land.

Gary, congratulations my friend on another superb job on behalf of the RV-10 community, well done mate.
These three first flights of late and the many other recent first flights are a true inspiration to builders like me, who come behind (read as far behind) you pioneering souls.
Wishing you all safe and clear skies from down-under.

After flying with Alex the week before, I was ready. The plane flew great.
With no wheel pants it is requiring some right rudder trim and I am finding that you have to watch your fuel distribution as it is easy to get a heavy wing.
I flew 2 times a day all 3 days of the weekend. One early morning, come back and tear down, then do it again mid afternoon. Right now I am chasing an oil leak around the pipe thread on the fittings going into the oil cooler. Also had an intermittent #2 EGT which I think is fixed. Swapped #2 & #4 probes and now all is working. May have been just the connectors. Time will tell if it comes back. And that is all.
My speeds including stall speeds seem to be right on what Vans published or what I would expect.
On takeoff, it is every bit a high performance airplane. It is a real joy landing. Hit your speeds and you can grease it on.

Good grief. It's a contagion!
Congratulations, Gary. Blue skies to you and your Pink Panther.
