08. Feb 2022 Birrfeld LSZF RV-14A HB-YAF

After 4 years of building, our RV-14A took flight on February 8th, 2022. It was a perfect day, with clear skies and no wind. After a flawless flight and a smooth landing, we found no leaks and everything looked fine. 2 days later, we already have 6:45 hours on the counter and breaking the engine in. 
The build was a pleasure, my wife and I both worked on the project and had great support of the Experimental Aviation Switzerland, our RV community in Switzerland and especially at our homebase Birrfeld LSZF and Van’s!
