Hi
all,
N924RV, my
new RV-7A, took to the air yesterday for the first time. After flying in circles
around the airport for an hour, no issues were found. The plane trimmed out fine
and flies straight and level with no pilot input!
After
flying more than 2900 hours in RV-6A's, this plane felt great. Much better
visibility over the nose. The Mattituck TMX IO-360 180 HP injected engine runs
great! Empty weight came out at 1185
lbs with no weight & balance issues through the full gross of 1950 lbs.
There's a few calibration issue with fuel flow, and I need to learn how to use
the GNS-480 and the GRT HS EFIS boxes (3), but otherwise, no real
issues.
The 40
hour test period should go fast!
