All went well and as expected the plane flies like a dream! Completely stable with only minor trim and only about 1/2 a bubble in yaw which is normal for most RV's according to my flight saftey advisor. Cruise came in at 170mph with only 2400 rpm and landing was very comfortable. The RV 9 likes 65 to 70 mph over the numbers touching on the mains letting the nose come down when it stops flying. I had the chance to fly a Grumman Tiger as part of my transition training. I'd highly recommend finding one it helped me come to grips with being to high and to fast on final and getting used to a castering nose wheel. Anyway my hat's off to Van for designing a truly beautiful airplane!!! I'll have some photos available shortly. Steve Dwyer
