March 27, 2005 At approximately 9am Arizona time, N194TC bored a hole in the sky above Glendale airport (KGEU) and executed a nearly perfect first flight. N194TC is an RV-9a, s/n 90338 and is powered by an Eggenfellner Subaru 2.5L normally aspirated engine running 100LL. The plane is equipped for day/night VFR and has an MT electric c/s prop. The left wing is only very slightly heavy. Otherwise, there are no squawks. The engine and prop ran smooth with not one hiccup in the entire RPM range. I have put a detailed story with some pictures on my web site at: http://rv9a.deru.com The project took a total of four years - 1600+ hours of shop time from first rivet to first flight.

Left Yuma, 4 hour flight to Loreto, B.C.S., gassed up (26 gal. 500 miles @ 2100), flew back to Mulege to the hotel, next day flew to Laguna San Ignacio to watch whales, back to the hotel. Sunday morning, back to Loreto for gas, 4 hour flight north (32 gal @ 2350 and about a 20-25 kt headwind) for the most fun I've had since the last flight in the RV-9A. At one point You can easily see both the Pacific and the Sea of Cortez at 6500'. If this plane was any easier to fly it would be installed at a supermarket and cost a quarter to take a ride. Landed at Yuma in about 25kt of breeze with gusts coming from both side of the nose.
