First taxi with wings. Engine very responsive.

Bill:
Thanks for joining up with the Beta team... I can feel you pulse quickening - be ready to go around the pattern every time you move her, however...

Thanks Steve,
I still have much to do.
Devil is in the details I am told.

Very nicely done.  Is it OK for me to steal liberally?  Hope it cools well for you.  Let us know.

[bill utt]

Thanks Doc.
I don't consider it stealing.
Quite the compliment.
So far it has been running to cool. need to enclose the cooler and control it with a door.
14+ hrs on it so far. Looking forward to climb out!

Hey Bill: The engine is well past the crib death failure point... If it is pulling strong and you are personally feeling together with first flight preparations, take her around the patch and pop a cork... A strikingly eye catching airplane...

Steve,
Still working on the punch list and it is getting more difficult to get to it now that it is 100+ miles from me.
Especially this time of year.
Still need the inspection and registration to do it right. Although the temptation is very strong to squeeze
the first flight in without.
Thanks for the NUDGE. :-)
The closest thing I can find to practice in is the Xair H model. Should start building some time in one after the start of the new year. the problem with the H is air leaks for the cabin. I like heat!
