Huge milestone for me yesterday. Started at 6 am with a bit to do on the car yet. Fast forward to 5:30 PM am a little late for an appointment with a local small airport who kindly agreed to let me make a couple of shake down passes. I still can't believe they let me run down their runway. They only had 2 requests:1 no burnouts, 2 don't damage the runway.
For the most part it went well. I need to adjust the timing, add more heat shielding, swap out the fuel pressure regulator, shave the rear tires, and work on the bail out.
