Other impressions. The airplane is loud, but not painfully so. At least not from the pilot's seat. The handling and control power still seem quite a bit better than my RV-6A (which was great). Not really clear why but most of my flying in the -6A I had someone in the right seat so maybe the weight? Other than the rudder, the airplane flies perfectly straight.
 
 All things considered I'm real happy. This flight was considerably less stressful than the first and I actually was able to enjoy it. I honestly dont remember a lot of the first flight. Also, I took my glider data logger with me on this flight. I havent downloaded it yet, but when I do I'll know more about speeds, climb rate, etc.
 
 Dont know how you guys feel about these flight reports. Give me some feedback if you want more as my testing progresses. I know that I like reading about other's flight experiences as it motivated me to keep going. After 13 years of building I'll tell you, its worth it. Now I wish I'd pressed harder to get it done sooner.
 
 Next flight will have to wait until I get gear leg stiffeners added. Classic RV - pretty bad shimmy on the roll out after landing. 38.5 hours to go!
