Pressure from my son to get this off the ground!
28.07.2010 at 22:09:29

The last week couple of weeks before the paper work goes off to the LAA .. The wing tips and fairings go to the body shop for paint this weekend, I have the flaps to set up and a couple of small items to do before I can do the weight and balance along with the fuel flow test.

My son is constantly bugging me Angry

as expected... to get this off the ground. Not that I can blame him as he’s put lots of hours into the build as well ....

Beat you into the air, though - first flight was a week ago. However you will win the war as mine is unpainted and therefore about 4-6 weeks of solid work behind... Not looking forward to all the cleaning, scotchbrite and filling.

Wings, flaps, ailerons etc over at Breighton, fuselage painting next week.
Back to top	7 in paint, 8 in planning.. Next one will be quicker, simpler, better. But they all say that, don't they ? IP Logged

Less than £**** Mike well worth it Tongue

Any way the fuel test went well after you flew off into the blue last Sunday ..
I wasn't looking forward to it Sad

Nigel Reddish volunteered to sit behind the prop and collect the excess Wink

Bit of a non event and got the numbers i wanted. One more thing off the List.

I did; or so I thought have a fault on the p2 side of the intercom embarrassed

So I placed an order for a new one and today i realised that I had fitted an insulation washer on the headphone Jack Roll Eyes

Dohhh removed it and now it all works !
