RE: Too pretty to maiden?
Fly it already!! HA! Man just to meet RC Ken, I would take him up on his offer. But think you'll be fine. Looks great!! I flew the SD with the cowl off for the first three flights. Wanted to see the fuel lines before and after flights to make sure all was well. Also in case I needed to adjust the low end mix. Re-checked the engine mount bolts too. I used red 232 locktite in them. They're not ever coming loose. I was relieved after the maiden, that's for sure. You'll do fine. Can't wait to hear the post flight report! Love the WWII warbirds. No doubt the best period for aviation ever! Took real men to fly those planes the way they did, now it's your turn. truth be known, you probably know more about your plane than alot of the pilots did back in the 40's.
