Good Friday was a good Friday!
Finally RV9a, #90360, G-IINI flew from my strip to Fishburn where she will
be based for flight test and me to get used to her. It was singularly
uneventful climbing to 4000' overhead, testing carb heat, checking OT and
CHT and taking her to the edge of the stall before setting course for
Fishburn. After a brief resumption of slow flight at that end a remarkably
easy landing. She seemed to know exactly what to do. With it all being
strange I dont know if I missed anything but my only reaction was that
despite the CofG being only 20% of the way aft in its range, hands off she
seemed quite slow to return to stable pitch trim once disturbed; to be
investigated in the days ahead. (The trim in the cruise is also far too
sensitive for me but this is a well known problem.) The bits I took off with
all seemed to be there when I landed which I view as good news!
Thanks to all who have put up with my inane questions and comments, but they
were necessary I promise to get me to this point. Thanks also to all - too
many to mention - who have helped me along the way.
Steve.
PS FYI, G-IINI weighs in at 1044 complete (painting & upholstery) with a
150hp O-320-E2D, an MT electric C/S prop VFR panel, Navaid and Nova strobes.
She is pretty much as VANS intended. I will put together some performance
numbers in the days ahead.
