N712BK First Flight
This morning N712BK departed terra firma for its first flight with Pete at the controls. Not only did Pete do the first flight, he also diagnosed an ignition problem that had been plaguing the ground testing. With the problem corrected N712BK was ready to fly. Flying chase was my building mentor and friend, Jan, flying his RV-4. To Pete, Jan, and all the fine people at Eagle's Nest that helped with advice, special tools and moral support, a great big Texas Thanks! Also a big Texas Thanks to Marty and all the builders that blogged and posted their tips on the RV-12 Forum. I started every building day with a review of all the new posts on the RV-12 Forum and took advantage of all your good information and suggestions.
Now the fun begins,let's fly, and gitty-up!
