First Flight went exceptionally well

New Paint job looks great

I think if I had seen this airplane before buying the RV7 I would have wanted it. What a beautiful airplane with that long nose and big shiny spinner, 300HP I hear, The Rocket is such a great looking airplane, and it has tremendous performance.
The First Rocket,Wayne has done a superb job of building this aircraft.
Here is an awesome shot of that beautiful spinner and front cowl of the Aircraft.
I went out on the edge of the strip in front on Boyd's hanger which is not that far from the end of the runway. This is Wayne as he went by. Man that airplane climbs like a homesick angel
