My RV4, Kit #656, N120PL took it's first flight and all things worked well. As near as I could tell anyway. Talk about half scared and half nervous. Glad the first flight is over and we got it up and down successfully. It was just a 20 minute ride and I stayed over the airport (3CM) in case the engine quite or something went wrong. Can't wait to do it again and check more of the systems out. Enjoyed flying with Mike Seager in Three Rivers, Michigan last week and am sure glad I waited to get his transition training! Thanks to Van's for building awesome kits! And to all the folks that answered my questions along the way. Would have been tough without all the knowledge that these RV group members have helped me with. Thanks again!
