Help with a first flight around Denver, CO
Hey Everyone,
After a year and a half long build, and some great advise that lead to some lengthy but good changes from fellow pilots, I've recently finished my F-18E Super Hornet. It has been tested as far as 2 lower speed taxi / shake down tests and I believe it is ready to see some time in the air. I don't have my turbine waiver yet so I'm looking for help both in making sure the plane is fully ready for a maiden flight, as well as getting my waiver. I did have a pilot out of Co Springs look over the plane and we were about to do the maiden when a flap servo burnt up, re-hinged the flap and installed bigger servos, met up with him and there were some very bad crosswinds so we didn't even get the plane out, but I haven't been able to get ahold of him since. Looking for any seasoned jet fliers are available on Sundays or Mondays and willing to help check out, and possibly even get this bird into the air.
Thanks guys!

ZX10rracer,
I am not qualified to test fly your F-18 and there are a couple of guys I think are qualified. If I can help in other ways let me know. I fly my jets at Chatfield. Direct email is [email protected] or phone 303-757-7019
