Ok guys, the flight report is...............No flight report! It turns out the tail wheel steering systems springs are so weak it would not even start to ground steer. There were a few minor glitches with the pants, throttle set-up, and the smoke oil filler port, but as soon as returning home I got to work adjusting everything and all is well. I am not positive about the new springs on the tail wheel and will wait and see. I might have to replace the leaf spring with a longer one to cut down on the angle of the linkage or bend the current springs, I don't know right now. Other than the minor issues I was very happy with the run and now actually look forward to the maiden. Sorry, with the way it went I did not think to do a photo shoot, had my heart set on a video. The next attempt at a maiden is next Monday unless something changes in the cameraman and my schedule.
 
I didn't look at your set up on the tail wheel. I use compression springs on the tail wheel. Gives very good control on the ground.

Looking forward to your maiden too.
