Chapter President, Geoff Kimbrough flew his RV-8 for the first time on April 8, 2008.

Made 4 flights - total of 1.8. The airplane flies just like Van advertises - climbs like a bat out of (well you know) and lands like a cub. Cruises at ~200 mph. Temps are all in the green. Stalls at 60 clean and 53 with flaps (mph). Wings level with no aileron pressure. Climbs 1800 fpm @ 120mph.

Congratulations Geoff!!!
