Will do. I think it will be in the fall when it is cooler.

Thank you. It was great to see my plane in the magazine. I also finished flight testing. Just got back from a flight to Camarillo airport from William J. Fox airfield. Beautiful day

It is somewhat difficult to get the oil fill plug out. There is not enough lip to get my fingers under. I made this washer that fits tight on the plug. I removed the "O" rings to get it on.

There has been an oil leak at the prop hub.There has been oil on the right horizontal baffle next top the prop hub. I think that is the only place it is leaking from the oil blows onto the firewall, engine and onto the windscreen. This is the first place for me to start then see if there are any other leaks. So I did the same oil seal that Doug Raby did on his Aerovee.

I made a video of the trip I took to Santa Paula airport. Note that I am still learning how to edit movies on the software I have.

I noticed the missing wheel pants, what's up with that? I remember John Monnett saying how he hates to see no wheel pants because a significant amount of drag is eliminated by having wheel pants.
