the air today with Danny Sorensen as test pilot. The plane performed
well behind the O-540 with outside air temperatures in the mid 30's and
calm winds. Only some minor
issues were noted such as slight right rudder is needed so I may add a
trim tab. I took it out for
the second flight and have to say it is an amazing feeling to fly behind
a machine I built with the help and support of family and some good
friends. Not to mention,
these are impressive planes anyway.
I won't have any pictures for a while as my computer
is recovering from a virus, but I'll post some pictures when that gets
fixed. For those of you
still building, I can say there is light at the end of the tunnel and it
was definitely worth the effort.
