Default 1 Fatal ...r.a.h or r.a.p?

My "first flight" WAS my second flight...

I was "taxi testing" my RV-6 when I became airborne for about a hundred
yards or so. Since I was not authorized to commit flight per the FAA
obviously I had not flown.... right??

Statistically, there is an 0.8% chance that a first flight will end in an
accident.


I think I'm just going to skip my homebuilt's first flight, and start on the
second flight. ;-)



Great idea Jim, why didn't they think of that? LOL.
