Re: Waiex N116YX first

I'm still coming off the high. I'll post a video of the event. We had three cameras, one on the ground and one in cabin. A chase plane also with still photos. WHAT A RUSH!

Re: Waiex N116YX first

First flight today. Plane flew better than could be expected. Literally hands off. Engine perfect. Rigging perfect. Weather not so perfect.

Now after completing my plane, I can't think of a better way to organize the plans. They provide everything you need ...

Re: Deburring holes

I got a super cheap B+D cordless screw driver with hex adapter. Ran on AA batteries, not even rechargable. Some Harbor Freight counter sink bits. Worked great to debur the 2000 plus holes.

I need to get the pink slip and operating limitations from the DAR and acceptance of my Phase 1 flight test area from the FSDO. I also need a few more transition flights i...
