Hello group,
    Pleased to announce first flight of my Subaru EG-33  Velocity STD RG on Saturday, Oct 4th. I have just over 3 hours on it at the moment and am working out a few bugs with the gear box cooling, but other than that, all systems are working well. I have been able to achieve 165kts indicated at 8500 ft, but run out of down trim. I am adjusting my canard about 1/2 - 2/3 bubble negative from where it was originally set. I would like to know if any other builders have have similar issues with canard incidence.
