Default RE: Finished my RV-4

She's flown But not yet by me!

It was overcast, but no wind to speak of. I had my friend, Jim Mitchell take her up and check her out. He did a good job of checking all of the characteristics, and his report is "She flies great... no bad habits."

So after a while in the air he says "Do you want to take it or do you want me to land?"

I figured I'd feel more comfortable next flight, (I've still a lot to learn as a pilot) so I said "Why don't you land, and I'll check it out, make sure everything is still tight."

Well, right after he lands, it starts to downpour, and then when the rain stops the wind picks up, and again I'm waiting for a better weather day...
