Progress report
CH-701 C-GBQX became an airplane on November 1st, 2010. I now have about 36 hours on it. Phase one ended at 25hrs and I have been enjoying giving ride to my friends.
I'm building streamlined strut covers. With my 80 hp Rotax the plane cruises about 78-80mph at 5200 rpm when solo. I'd like to get just a bit more performance out of it. That and maybe a bit better climb on hot days (if they ever get here). I'm hoping to fly it to Oshkosh this year so I need to get these little details looked after.
To all those still building, don't give up. Eventually they do fly.
