This morning at OXR was classic, perfect SoCal weather. As good a time as any for N313TD to go from project to airplane.
Thanks to everybody here for advice, guidance, and encouragement, and thanks to the folks at OXR for all the help.
Only a couple of squawks: Airspeed was inop (even though there was a reading on the ground), the engine farted some oil onto the cowl and the magneto gasket leaks a bit.
The airspeed turned out to be the AOA line plugged into the pitot connection and vice versa.
Here's a little clip of the first flight video:

The airspeed being out didn't really matter much. My tailwheel training and transition training let me know what I was supposed to be seeing outside the airplane.
