On Sunday 3/5/23 my aircraft became airborne for the first time at 4:37pm! Flight lasted 17 minutes. Completed 1st and 2nd flight test cards. Engine CHTs got into the 400s did a shallow climb to 4500 feet reduced power temps began to stabilize and decrease. Did a clean stall added a notch of flaps and landed. What rush, she’s fast and responsive!
Decowled and inspected. No leaks, everything looks good. Only issue is my crossover exhaust pipe is slightly rubbing the other. Should be an easy fix with a set of thinner exhaust gaskets. Plane has a heavy left wing, adjusted wing skin clearance where rubbing on flaps. Left forward air baffle is rubbing on the upper cowl.
