N554LH First Flight July 24 2009

N554LH First flight video. Taken July 24, 2009. I can't describe how wonderful it felt today to complete the first flight with no issues. I've been up late so many nights planing it in my head. RV-9A Van's aircraft.

Great job and great video! I'm a "wannabee" airplane builder and spend a lot of time researching and watching. I'm thinking of an RV 9a, 10, or possibly zenith ch640 4 seater. I'm leaning to the rv9a because of the cost factor. I may even order preview plans soon. Great job again and liked the ATC audio included, great job!!

Great video. I liked your camerawoman's comment "so far so good" however I think she might have been ready to start breathing through a paper bag. :-) And she will make a great flying partner cause she knows the second best thing to flying; "Lets Eat!" Good Job
