Thanks Wayne, it means a lot. Thank you and everyone for your help
answering all my dumb questions. I can't say I'm done asking them though.
I actually surprised myself getting it in the air. You should have seen
what I had left to build just 4 months ago! The progress had slowed for
the past 3 years because I have been working out of state for 8 months a
year and it had just been sitting in my garage during that time, but when
I came home at the beginning of November I made the goal of getting it
flying before I left again, which will be next week. I worked an average
of 80 hours per week with only a couple short breaks. I'm beat, to say
the least, lost weight off my already skinny frame, but I did it! I
won't have time to fly off all the test time but I will get time off
work when I can and come back to get it done. I want to have it in
Montana, where I work in the Summer. There is some great bush flying up
there. Hoping to get at least a few more test flights before I go
though. I fixed the oil leak (hopefully), finished my wing fairings and
now I just need to do something about the tailwheel shimmy. I have a !
steel leaf
coming that I may try,
or else shorten the fiberglass one and try to change the angle slightly.
