Cogratulations Mike :) Great write up and what a nice lunch afterwards. Sounds like weather and everything else cooperated beautifully! Again congratulations and I look forward to more write up of your flight testing. :)

Mike,

This is great. Thanks for filling us in! I had been wondering about all the details. I was imagining it was me and thinking about my own first flight. I know that day is coming!

Please keep the reports coming as you go through phase 1, would you? Any idea why #3 is running hotter than the rest?

Congrats Mike!

I know I'm months late, but this is the first chance I have had to get caught up on RB. What a great write up of the first flight!

Awesome Job Mike,
it gave me the chills to see you take off for the first time in your RV-7.
I got a long way to go. I get to play with sealant putting my tank together this weekend.


Take care,
Mike Balzer
