Hua, Hua, Hua N927BJ left the ground for the first time 1320 local December 12,
2005. Will try to post a picture.
Now I need some help. I remember a comment last year some time about "leaking"
Dynon pitot system. Apparently, I experiencing it. IAS is about 20% low compared
to GPS and chase plane. Both steam guage and Dynon read the same. Have
completed a post-flight check of the tubing/fittings and cannot discern anything
being loose. It made for being a little tight jawed on final, not wanting
to be too fast or too slow. Just flew the attitude right down to the runway.
The RV9 seems to float more than the RV7 and landed slower--it seemed to be
about the same speed as the Classic IV Kitfox.
Thanks for all your interest.
