  Just thought I'd let everyone know that my RV6A flew for the first time tonight with Chuck Ross at the controls.  The half hour flight went extremely well, with the only concern a high CHT on #3 cylinder.  There doesn't appear to be the usual problems with a heavy wing or any other rigging problems evident.   In Chuck's words, "the errors in construction must have cancelled themselves out", and "flies just like an RV".

  Many thanks to my patient and understanding wife Della, and also the numerous RV builders who have provided advice, tools, and help over the past 5 1/2 years while this project has edged towards completion.  Also, special thanks to Chuck for making the first flight.
