Well the winds and weather finally cooperated yesterday for me to take it up for the first flight 
Family and friends were there to make the occasion very special for all involved. Engine temps were a little higher than my liking but hopefully they will start to settle down with a few more hours of breaking in.
I'm very happy to be a part of this fine group of individuals and want to thank everyone for helping me out along the way.
For those of you getting close to flying you own project, please at least consider getting some transition training before you go up. I did mine with Alex De Dominicis at RVtraining.com here south of Dallas. I have flown a few different airplanes in the past but it wasn't until after the training that I realized just how much I needed it. Even though I fly for a living, it had been 5 years since flying an RV-4 that I owned. Thanks again Alex.
