Well, you might just be reinventing the envelope, but you're now getting to know the aircraft. Being able to go do all this stuff and understand how your aircraft will behave will make for future safer flying. I'm 6 to 8 weeks away from finishing and really looking forward to phase 1 testing. I've ordered a copy of the EAA flight test manual, which will be accepted here in Australia so I'll be treading the same path, but with the addition of some other stuff, which will include higher bank angles. But I do understand your nervousness ... I know I'll be exactly the same, especially when you're exploring some boundaries of the envelope.

Keep the phase 1 posts coming. Interesting to read about your progress.

Fly safe.
