After 6 years and 2 days of building, RV-10 N77319 took flight on Friday May 24th. Airplane flew well with the most significant squawk being the pitch trim was backwards (quick VPX change)
We orbited the airport for about an hour, confirming everything looked good before returning to Terra Firma to allow the RV grin to take hold.
The most appropriate word I could come up with when friends and family asked was "surreal".
Thanks to Bruce Hill for taking a few pictures and hosting them on his website:
