I've got a better one. Come on over to KSGS and whomever gets my engine hooked up (since I haven't a clue what I'm doing) wins the distinction as smartest Rver I ever met.

Hey Matt, =C2-=C2-=C2-=C2-=C2-=C2-=C2-=C2-=C2-=C2-=C2-=C2-=C2 -=C2-=C2-=C2- I continue to encourage you to write your building ex periences in a commercial for sale publication. You have done such a great job of chronicling every detail complete with pix and videos, it would be a shame to let it all set in=C2-storage boxes in corner of the hangar. Can't imagine any RV builder not wanting to read & view your experiences. I know if I were in a position to commence my RV 7A project tomorrow, I woul d definitely want to have this preview material to help through the process . Plus it would make for the kind of read that one can simply not stop unti l the final chapter {first flight}. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Matt Dralle" Sent: Wednesday, May 5, 2010 9:26:48 PM GMT -05:00 US/Canada Eastern Subject: RV7-List: RV-8 N998RV First Flight - Pilot Report And Photos! Dear Listers, Monday May 2 2010 at 1:15pm, RV-8 #82880 N998RV took to the air for the fir st time! =C2-The first flight was about 30 minutes and all systems worked as expected. =C2-The only post-flight adjustments necessary were an incr ease in the amount of available Up trim, and a decrease in the upper RPM li mit on the Hartzell prop. =C2-After a smooth takeoff, I climbed out and c ircled the airport at about three to four thousand feet for a couple of cir cuits then came around and landed making a nice three-point landing with no bounce. =C2-The plane handled excellent and the power from the IO-390 an d the Hartzell can only be experienced to be believed! =C2-What a great c ombination! I want to thank Van's for designing such a great aircraft and for producing such an outstanding kit. =C2-I would also like to thank all my List frie nds for their help and assistance during the project. =C2-And of course, a special thanks to all of my personal friends that have come over and lent at hand during the construction - I own you guys a ride and a $100 hamburg er when I get the Phase 1 time flown off! Probably in the Fall or Winter some time, plan to take it in for painting. =C2-I'm planning on a Candy Apply Red with some very understated and eleg ant golden trim with a nice clear coat. For all those that are still building - keep at it! =C2-The end result is 100% worth the time and effort you put into the project. =C2-That first flight will be the experience of a lifetime and something you won't soon fo rget! Attached are some pictures from the first flight and few shots of the engin e, panel, and interior. =C2-Below, I've listed the system highlights.
