Didn't mean to create a thread for this.

 

Happened in April 2011.

I gather it is flying better now Robyn? Bob said at the end it was running a little rough.

So, what caused the rough running? Nice video.

What is she doing to me??? I just seen this and the video posts.

 

Sorry about the quality of the first flight video. Robyn doing the video on the ground was shaking like a leaf and the little Drift camera in the back of the cockpit obviously didn't want to be a passenger on a first flight as it was shaking worse

 

We had the RV ready for it's first flight when our house and my workshop went under in the January 11 Qld floods. It sat for three months (while we cleaned up the flood mess) before I got a chance to take it for it's first flight. And the rough running was stale fuel gumming up the TBI. Being it's first flight I didn't notice that it was down a little on take off power and it wasn't until I was in the air that it started to run rough (possibly as the RPM's came up).
