On the third taxi test, i headed out to the main runway at Livermore, 25R and ask the tower for a high-speed taxi test with no take off. It was approved as requested and went great. There was about a 15 knot headwind at about 270 which made it even more fun. The RV-8 handled great and it was definately ready to take off. I only got to about 1/3 power and it would have taken off with about 1/2 throttle probably. Oh my... What will FULL throttle be like!? Now that's exciting! Be sure to watch the Part 2 of this video because as the music gets more intense, so does the testing!
