Thanks for your input Norm. Your reference to the SKS video of Florida Jets 2000 rang a bell for me. I dug through some past correspondence and found I had some good feedback from Greg Thomas about a year ago, regarding the first flight experiences of what must be your T2.
The short version of his advice was.....build something else!! Does this sound familiar?
I am too far in to quit now so if nothing else, I'll get some experience.
