Over the last month we have created a series of videos on first flights, covering topics such as aircraft prep, engine prep, pilot prep, and even a flight in the RV-10 recreating some of the failure modes you may encounter and some advice on how to deal with them, including go-nogo decisions.
Enjoy!
