...getting it started. v/r,dr
Just finished flying off the hours assigned to me in my third and latest Phase I adventure. This came after installing a new main wing and tail. The new wing's span is lengthened three feet and equipped with a monolithic spar designed to support 7.5 "G's" at 2200 pounds. An RV-14 horizontal stab and elevators along with an RV-7 vertical stab and rudder also were installed. The plane is now flying extremely well and I'm very happy with the results. After twenty years of engine and airframe changes, I can now say that I'm finally done tinkering! She's exactly what I wanted!

Took a quick trip up to Maryland for beer and crab cakes with some friends. Left Saint Simons Friday morning for Easton for an RON.
Met up with 4 old, and I mean OLD, friends. Great dinner at Doc’s Sunset Grill in Oxford. Next day played around sightseeing up towards Philly and headed home.

Am I responsible for starting a crab cake trend? Nice pictures of clouds, but I want to see some crab cake pictures!
I installed a toilet in the RV6 yesterday. Can't use this with a tip-up and works well with a slider. Gets a little windy when in use.
I parked my airplane in a bad neighborhood ..
