Love it!  That is awesome!  I like the look of the long, slender nose.

Working through the 40 hours. Getting the vx and vy numbers dialed.

Looking great!  How do you like the handling?  Looks like take off performance in the cold weather is top notch, as expected!

My brother is flying the test hours off as I'm handling all of the mechanical issues, so the real answer is I don't know yet. Initial climb is a little over 1000 fpm .... the airport elevation is 4200 asl, wish I knew how it performed at sea level. David loves the stol performance, I'm told the roll is a bit sluggish so I'm wondering if my linkages need attention. The motor is doing nicely as well.
