Hi Bill,
Great Job....I've been watching you build for the last 53 years at least and have learned many things from you and your website. Its great to see your efforts payoff and you've done a great job passing your building knowledge along........I'm a little jealous....
My best friend and I completed our Empennage kit at Alexander Technical Institute in Griffin Georgia, back in April 2004. We are too anxious to get the rest done but it just takes time and persistence.
Keep the great work and let us know how its is progressing.
Jealous RV wannabe.....flying old Bonanza......

It dawned on me that some of you might not read the VAF forum. Just incase you missed it, my first flight was this past Sunday.
All went well and the airplane handles GREAT!
Radomir Zaric took some great photos and posted them here: http://picasaweb.google.com/n777ty/FirstFlightN941WR
I finally reduced the first takeoff and landing videos to a reasonable size.
My wife took these with our Canon PowerShot SD600, nothing fancy but it worked:
Take off: http://www.repucci.com/bill/basement/first_flight.wmv
Landing: http://www.repucci.com/bill/first%20flight/the_first_landing.wmv
That landing video really gives you an idea how much the RV-9 likes to float
Bill

Congratulations Bill. Reports such as yours inspire me, and I'll need plenty of inspiration before I'm done. My tail kit arrived just yesterday. I finished the inventory last night, and today I'll call Van's for the two missing parts.
