    You know what, I enjoyed this build a bit too much I think. I am certainly not demonstrating the same drive to get it flying as you all well have noticed. I am not yet ready in my piloting skills now that I have not flown since April. Winter may delay me from flying with Paul so Im not rushing. I may need to get a check out in a Citabria down here in Southern CA where the weather is great for flying year round except winds. I have left a few things on my plane that will be done in the future. I like the thought of having the set up I have and will add Vortex generators, T3 tailwheel, in flight adjustable prop for some fun tinkering at a later date. I need to get my but flying so I am comfortable with the first flight.

    You know, Ed, it's such a beautiful build, with the fuel injection, 3 blade prop, and that G3X... IMHO, it would be a shame if you couldn't at least get 40 hours on it before Ohio. Or at least fly solo logging some hours to Copper State, in Feb. But, what do I know.... your plane, your schedule. It's a beautiful build. So good, your boy is asking for it already in your will / trust fund!!!! LOL!

    Stolspeed and Vortex Generator vanes for the leading edge, 2" back to lower your stall speed of plane under prop power. Not quite as effective dead sticking, so I have read.
