In this episode of Flight Chops, we’re onboard for the FIRST #TESTFLIGHT of the #VansAircraft RV-14 that we’ve spent the past 2 years building! And starting into the test flying program and engine break-in - all with less than ONE MONTH before we’re hoping to have the airplane fly into AirVenture!

FLIGHT CHOPS DISCLAIMER:
I am a "weekend warrior" private pilot, I fly for fun with no intentions of going commercial. I have had my PPL for over 15 years, but still consider each flight a learning experience - I generally take detailed notes after each flight to remind myself what went well or what I could do to improve.... Having GoPro cameras to record flights like this is invaluable. I find these self analysis videos very helpful in my constant quest to improve, and am happy to share. Feedback is invited; however, please keep it positive.

The first figure is the Wedge, or “Shark’s Tooth” rolling 2 of 4 to level on the inverted 45 downline, followed by a Hammer Head, which is my favourite figure! I find it very challenging to maintain the 45 degree line while rolling, but it went pretty well on this one :)
