Thanks guys! Hoping to finish the radio install and tank tonight. Tomorrow I'll sort out the wings and hopefully Friday finish the radio program. Saturday run and give the airframe a good shakedown. And hopefully if weather cooperates Sunday will be the maiden. My fingers are crossed!

It's amazing how long it takes for all the piddley crap! But the fuse is finally finished. Tomorrow night will be a busy one.

Flight report: I'm very happy with it!! All smiles in Green Bay! It needed just a click of elevator for level flight.
The GP and ES pipes are super quiet and at 13.5" header length is spot on. Really smooth combination. Endless power. My CG was good., just a ever so slight fall on a 45 line. It Flys like it's on rails. With the lower stab and further placement back the Knife edge needs no correction one way and had a slight pull towards gear the other. I got lucky on that one. Only put two five minute flights on it. I have leaking headers at the couplers and I want to go through the rest of the plane.
 
Sweet! The ES pipes are the bomb for sure. I think since they are not a "true" tuned pipe, you don't seem to get that peaky spot in the throttle. Now go get some more flights on her and enjoy all the work you put into her.
