I (didn't) give up

So glad you got through the fog.
This community is awesome. I've almost given up several times. Someone was always there to hold me up. The feeling of flying an airplane you built is beyond words.
I recentlt asked AI how many private pilots have built airplanes.
"While there are hundreds of thousands of private pilot licenses issued, the number of those who have built a plane is a very small fraction of that total."
We are a very small and loyal community. Be proud. We are all here for each other.

First flight will make all that came before worthwhile (and "issues" forgiven)

Bravo !!!
Hats off to you sir for getting through this.
Perseverence paid off in the end.
A big thumbs up to all VAF'ers and others that helped you out.
This community is awesome.
Wish you all the best for the future.

Bob: glad you got thru this! Please take the same approach to knee surgery and physical therapy: best practices, some things to figure out, and lots of help out there!

Bob,

I'm glad to hear you have the engine running smoothly! That must be a huge relief!

Email me the flight logs from the recent engine testing. I should be able to tell from them if your alternator amps reading is an issue with the generator charging the system or with the GEA24 wiring and tell you what to check. Worst case scenario I can come back out - this is back in my wheel house.
