Took my girl out today to tune, and check everything over, tidey up the wiring, balance, and cut small relief for spark plug cap, she be ready for flight. May put the pants on this one, those pilot wheels is some ugly, got a set of Sky-lite's I might just switch em out for.

Pants yes! Wouldn't want you to get arrested for indecent exposure.

I swapped out the wheels for some skylite sullivans, got wiring all zip tied up, radio set up. I'm sticking batteries near where @49dimes has his an go fly, move em if need be. @Jetpainter where you got your batteries? Sadly winter has found us here in NC, and our spring like weather is GONE, so probably no maiden this week.

With a DA50 and a can I ended up making a tray and mounting them on the rear of the can tunnel. It's a tad tail heavy there, but I love how it flies. It's neutral when inverted, but has zero bad habits.

I found this video of the Pilot factory on YouTube today. I've never seen it before, but evidently it's been around awhile.

It really seems Tony has happy employees because it shows on the planes. And the Pilot cowls are second to none IMO.

Well some covering from the bottom of ol purple finally let go after five years of abuse. Rob take some time off and get down here. Just don't forget your covering iron .

But the air frame is holding in there like a charm!
