I'm at the point in my build where I need to start looking for a first flight / test pilot for my RV-7. Having a first flight pilot who is an instructor and can spend a little time in the AC with me is a bonus.

I'm in Joseph, Oregon and should be ready around October/November.


Any recommendations would be appreciated.
 
You are close to the factory, have you asked them? Axel maybe?

Mike Seager comes to mind also.

No I haven't asked the factory but that's a good idea. When I did my transition training with Mike he mentioned he only does first flights occasionally and charges accordingly.

Axel would be great...I reached out with a PM but haven't heard back...maybe when I call the factory I'll learn more.
 
There must be someone with a recommendation for a first flight / test pilot in the Pacific North West :rolleyes:
 
Thanks for all the suggestions. A friend and experienced RV pilot will do the first flight.
