Default Once around the patch/Flight test 5
It was a beautiful night for a test flight.....or so I'm told.
With the few squawks we had, most are resolved or not a factor for the moment. We're still working on the heavy left wing but are closing in on it.

Jeff Point continues to do the flight testing until I'm ready which should be pretty soon now. I have noticed however that it takes very little arm twisting to get him to do so!

Don't miss the universal "It's time for a cold one!" hand signal at the end!

Let's see- I get to burn your gas, and when done, I get to drink your beer...

Jesse- you're nowhere near ready to fly this thing. Better let me keep at it.

Nice video Jeff & Jesse. Looked like a nice night. Based on this weekends forecast and Presidential TFR on Monday I am planning on working on the fuselage most of this weekend. Probably will have some cold ones too.
