Maiden will likely be Friday afternoon/evening. I have a prior engagement tomorrow and the weather is looking crappy anyway.

I couldn't, however, resist taking it out and firing it up. I fueled it up. Not sure how big the tank is, but it seemed to take a lot of fuel. Primed it, put the glow on and hit it with the starter. It fired right up. I leaned out the high end to close to the max on the limiter. It seems pretty good. I'm very impressed with the way it runs so far. The flywheel helps it idle nice and slow. We'll see how it performs with the three blade prop.

I taxied it around the cul-de-sac a little bit and immediately noticed that the nose wheel was way out of line to the right when the rudder was centered. Easily solved by adjusting the pushrod at the servo.

That's it for now. BTW, total assembly time was around 2 1/2 hours. Of that, probably an hour was spent on the covering. If you didn't mess with the covering and you didn't epoxy the wings together, you could do it in about an hour.
