A couple of videos of the first flight from today.

The weather was good today for a takeoff from my preferred runway, 5 although the wind was a bit variable, it was fairly light. Tomorrow looks to be favoring 23, which puts me over the city, which I didn’t really want. So I chose today to go for it.

I’ve spend a decent amount of time over the last couple of weeks sitting in the cockpit and going over things.. checklists, and developing flows. So I felt as ready as I was going to be.

Thankfully it was an uneventful flight. No major issues.. just a couple of things that I need to look into, which is pretty typical for first flights. I circled the airport between 2200-2500′. I did left and right turns, and I pulled fuel from both tanks. CHTs were reasonable. And a decent landing, which I credit transition training for. Now to get on with phase 1 flight testing.
