Thanks Blackrock! I'm ready when you are! Just gotta keep it within 100 miles of home. :wink:

Key point.
Airworthy, and safe-- just needs tweeking to be optimum.
IMHO


That was my thinking. Made one more adjustment and all seems to be good; oil pressure in the low 40s.

I'm loving this spring! Hopefully summer will be even better.

Made an hour flight this morning. I need to make a rigging adjustment due to a drooping flap which will hopefully eliminate the light wing. Plane seems to be truing out at 140mph TAS with max cruise power, WOT and 2600rpm. I'm pretty happy with that and hopefully we will pickup some speed once everything is faired and the rigging adjusted.

Congrats Whee!

I haven't been following this thread, just seeing hints of the project in other posts. I had no idea you were so far along!
