Thanks for all the kind words. It's been fun and I hope it's as fun to fly as it was to build. You other builders please keep posting. The activity on this site is in decline. Step up and show us what you're doing!

As Mike says, the fuel test was successful. It leaks!
Put it together, take it apart, put it back together.

When I first looked at the ring gear picture I thought you were doing a Bill Rusk mod at saving weight and only using every third tooth ;-)

The End of the Innocence. I listened to that tune on the way to Birchwood today and it seemed appropriate. The Wildcat just flew it's first two test flights. Man, what a ride. Gobs of power, crazy rate of climb, an honest straight and level 100 mph at 24/2400, hottest CHT 330*, oil temp 170*, all in ambient temps around 55*. The beast will take some getting used to. Mostly the power and the flaps, but the rigging is good and with only a couple of small items to tidy up? It's time to burn avgas.
Mike's transfer labels look great. I like the red text on black panel. One of many details that make me smile.
