Completed my maiden flight today at my little grass strip, Sandy River O3S. Everything went quite well with no major issues. Was up for an hour and basically followed the FAA AC 90-89A procedure for Phase I testing. Only 3 minor issues:
  1. Left wing a little heavy-need to tweak the lift strut rod end.
  2. Need just a little more nose UP trim-will tweak the trim ballscrew adjustment.
  3. Fuel pressure was dancing around the low limit red line during WOT climbout. In the green during all other times. I'm not sure about this-if there is a problem or not. I do not have an electric boost pump. What do you guys think?

What a great day and milestone, especially for an old guy.
