First Flight for Hervé Savary's RV7A

Hervé Savary is a French Pilot/Builder on a temporary assignment in Greenville, SC. Hervé was building an RV7A in his workshop in Compiègne, France when this assignment came-up. The rest of the story is documented on his builder's site:

I got the opportunity to know Hervé through George Orndorff from GeoBeck to whom Hervé wisely contracted the finishing of his plane while he was on assignment. I found about that while I was taking a Sheet Metal course at George's workshop in Gold Hill, NC. last May.

Hervé kindly documented the event through  the following videos:
Le départ / Departure

Le décollage des deux avions / Take off of both planes

L'atterrissage du chase plane, je suis a bord . Landing of chase plane, I am onboard

Passage basse hauteur de N36HS / Low pass N36HS

De retour au sol après 40 minutes de vol / Back on the floor after 40 minutes flight
