Pic, so it happened. Just a still from video, I didn't think to take any photos, sorry. Pity I can't figure out how to post a video here Attachment: 131257069_10224658304428697_5982151207833586107_n.jpg The test pilot comes next week to do his own inspection, then I'll have a whole new set of issues to debug. First pass through the data dump from the start (hello, 21st century!) all parameters look perfect.

Sorry, but I flew my Lancair myself on it's first flight. My ego isn't on the line here. Sexual analogies are emotive but treating a control stick as a phallic symbol has gotten a lot of pilots killed over the years. The NTSB found that 20% of all homebuilt accidents occurred on the first or second flight, the majority due to pilot error. I find that data compelling, as does my insurance company. We agreed that a Test Pilot School graduate, aerobatics competitor and Reno race pilot who's been instructing in Evolutions for years and done over a dozen first flights was much better qualified for this job than I am. As I said before, this ain't the Raptor project.

Before making my first solo flight I got several hours in the left seat of a similar plane with a former Marine test pilot in the right seat. Prior to that, I got six hours in the right seat of an identical aircraft - even some actual IFR. Also, I did a number of fast taxi tests, so I felt pretty confident that I wouldn't die on the first couple of flights.
