Finally remembered to bring fresh batteries with me today for the camera. Kit 40185, now known as N246RS had her first flight this past June. She has almost 70 hours on the airframe right now. All fueled up and ready for one or two more hours tommorrow to try some AP/GPS coupled approaches. It's a standard kit so I can't complain about the QB problems other seem to have. Took 5 years and four months to finish. Proof you can paint your own plane if you want! But it was MUCH more work than I thought.

Beautiful Rick! Congratulations. Is that an MT prop?

Best regards,

Thanks David,

Yes, the prop is an MT. A bit more of a headache with the 3 blade and I've been told a tad slower but have yet to verify that. From Vegas to Burbank in an hour and 10 minutes seemed fast enough to me BTW the day I made that flight SWA had a $44.00 one way ticket special. We had three people in the 10 and the fill up at Burbank was $75. I win!!

It consistently trues over 200 MPH at altitude with two up.

As I remember, one day your wife expresses a desire for a 10, and it seems like the next day (or two) you had one... Okay, maybe it was a week or two.

Good to see the pics.

I don't know why you'd think the paint was offensive, it looked just fine to me. Congratulations on your flight.
