Tonight I finished flying off the phase 1 hours. I can't wait to share my airplane with everyone who has helped me over the last 7 years. They're gonna love it!

Congrats

Congratulations.
Now get some time at 90 kts and we will see younat Oshkosh!!!!!

I wonder if there is award for lowest time at Osh. For those of us who just finish a week before…..
 
For my RV-8, I had test flight cards for each flight while in Phase 1. Although the Vans series have a proven history, each plane is very much an individual. Phase 1 is used to root out these differences and to document performance. Of critical importance in a tandem seat configuration is to test various CG conditions before putting live people back there. My -8 was a totally different aircraft when at max rear CG...best to learn how to manage this with sand bags and not human souls.
