Very nice first flights. I'm sure that you're happy with how she flies.

Found out why my Fuji 34 quit on me a couple weeks ago and had a near disasterous downwind landing. Attempting to start the engine last Wednesday evening, I was having trouble getting the Fuji to start. Just couldn't get her to draw any fuel, choked or not. Time to remove the prop and pull the cowl off. Found that the Tygon fuel line had been completely burned through on the preceeding flight (when the engine mysteriously died just after takeoff). Some new Tygon took care of that. Had three more successful flights after that, sporting the new GP Super Stearman landing gear. Made sure thats the new fuel tubing was nowhere near the muffler!!
