First flight

Today I took my new build RV8 up for its first flight. It was a little gusty, but the aircraft handled it beautifully. It flew as expected. No aileron or rudder trim needed, and jumped of the ground after a very short ground run. My previous RV was a 9a which was impressive. The 8 is even more so....so far! The 3 point landing was ok, but that was before I read the discussion about the difficulties of 3 pointing it here tonight.

Five years building well spent! Regards to all Brent
 
Congrats!!

Same city(-name), same aircraft type, same year of maiden flight......
different countries.

But surely the same RV grin!!!
