Thumbs up Done with Phase 1!
I put in a marathon of flying 21.9 hours in the last 2 weeks.



I still have lots to work on. I need to get my interior upholstered, I need to fix my weapy front crankshaft oil seal, and I need to rectify my heavy left wing.

The airplane is a joy to fly and the performance is outstanding.

Now time to give some rides to my wife and kids.

Way to go Bruce. That's quite a push to get that many hours in two weeks. Must of had some time off work. You are out of the cage now and I am about 39 hrs behind you.
