For what its worth.
I flew the maiden flight of my XL in July. I had always planned to do it.
I had built it so I was going to fly it. I did not have any doubts that it
comformined to the drawing requirements and weight and balance, fuel flow
tests, taxi runs, engine runs, etc. were ok. I did not make any crow hops
before first flight, just enough speed to get it a little light to make sure
nothing appeared to be amiss or strange. I never read of any bad habits
associated with the XL and with a lot of them flying I suspected no unusual
flight characteristics. I was current and reviewed the flight with my EAA
chapter flight advisor. I am glad I made the first flight - a really neat
thing to remember.
The XL is easy to fly.

Happy New Year, All Y'all !
I have a question: How many of you used a test pilot on the
first
flight?
My young bride wants me to give up that once in a lifetime
event.
So does my Doctor. I think he's the one prompting her to such
thoughts.
Any thoughts worth reading?
