First flight
Recently got the paperwork from local EAA and Transport Agency as well as the radio license after approved inspection of EAA/TA Surveyor
First flight took place june 30th at local airport Visby, Gotland (ESSV) and lasted 41 minutes.
Initially had a somewhat hard time to follow ATC maximum altitude instructions, this is a quick litte airplane and things happens much faster than in a PA-22 or TB10
Engine worked satisfactory, maybe fuel pressure is a bit on the high side. Have to check with a pressure gauge and compare with EFIS/EMS.
EFIS airspeed differed some from steam ASI at higher speeds, not sure why yet?
The airplane is also a little heavy on the left wing, to be sorted later on...
Overall very happy to have come to this phase of the project and I'm really looking forward to investigate behaviour and characteristics at flight trials.

I guess it's time to move this project into another thread
Finally; a big thanks to VANS, VAF and everyone thats been involved in this project for making it come true.
Thanks// Carl
