OLLES RV6 SE-XMI

Photos from XMI building and assembly

The RV6 project started late 1988 with the empenage kit, as usual. Final assembly was late fall 1991 in my hangar at Barkarby Airfield outside Stockholm. Temperature during the final days was around 0dgr C and testflight took place December 1st. After 50h flight evaluation -XMI got its Permit to Fly in October.
