Just wrapped an incredible weekend here at @canadian_aviation_museum with @flightchops and @ch2a_dave Highlights include(1) removing the aerobatic restriction from @flightchops ‘s @vansaircraftinc RV14 and teaching Steve aerobatics in his own airplane and (2) becoming a member of the @canadian_aviation_museum and completing the DHC-1 Chipmunk and North American Harvard courses, ending in soloing both of those airplanes. I also had the immense privilege of flying aerobatics in the Harvard with retired Lieutenant-Colonel Ron Holden. Many wonderful , warm and welcoming people met which is what matters the most in the end. I am already looking forward to coming back ! 🙃👊🏻 • • • • • • • #aviationlovers #pilotsofinstagram #canadianaviationmuseum #canadianaviation #windsorontario #harvsairschool #flightchops #northamericanharvard #dhc1chipmunk #vansrv14 #avgeek #warbirds #at6texan

It’s been quite a ride to get here. Huge thanks to the flying community and super supportive sponsors that have grown along with the “Flight Chops Project”. Organizing footage from this weekend has been surreal. To see that logo which started off as a joke, embroidered onto the seat back of a dream come true aircraft that I took part in building, and am now flying, is nothing short of amazing. After days of storms we caught a 24 hour period of awesome weather before another system was forecast to roll in, so Dave and I tag teamed the bulk of 25 flying hours (limited to a 25 mile radius from home base) required to finish out the test flight phase. Rocking @boseaviation A20 headsets the only mild discomfort we felt was leg and back cramping from sitting so long. Between us we few a combined ~2000 miles! The Van’s Aircraft RV-14 performed like a champ; we have one of the first to be configured with @lycoming_engines IO390 EXP119 and the new 3 blade composite @hartzellprop . We were seeing climb rates well over 2200 FPM, and speeds over 182 KTs TAS! (with engine break in settings ~75% at a DA of ~7000’) And shout out to @teamforeflight (not seen in the photos just out of frame) always onboard helping me with consistency and situational awareness (especially when I learn to fly new avionics like this amazingly equipped @garminaviation panel). The next episodes to publish on YouTube will cover the 1st flight and test flight program. A new era of content is coming as I share the process of planning and executing IFR and VFR missions as well as flying aerobatics in this machine! The first trip to share will be taking it to AirVenture where it will be parked at the Garmin booth all week - I hope to see you there for a High Five! Thanks for being a part of the ride and “Keep your Flight Chops Sharp!” #WhyIFly #Aviation #FlightTraining #IFR #VFR
