RV-3B G-HILI Flies

Andy Hill

Well Known Member
3 flights, and ~1hr on G-HILI today :D

IO-320 [160HP], VP MT Prop, Basic Wt/CG 733lbs 57.59". It took the 3rd takeoff before I got full power on it :eek:

No major snags, albeit naturally some more fine tuning needed than the more modern kits ;)

Congratulations. As you well know it's going to be fast. Love the RV-3 as much as my RV-4.

Stay safe and enjoy.
 
Just watched the video Andy - looked great! But you know, as nice as the RV-3 is, I couldn't help but think that the location was much more appropriate for a covey of Spitfires lifting off and tuckign their wheels into their elliptical wings...... ;)
 
Congrats!

Andy,
Welcome to the RV-3 flyer's club! Once you get
dialed-in you will absolutely love it.
Cheers,
