    I'm really close. Just a few punch list items left. Another guy up here has an Arion Lightning that's almost ready. We are going to try to get an inspector up here on March 16th to look at both planes. I should try to get to Idaho for some training between now and then.

    All right Brian, I will now say you have officially caught up with me. Nice job. Looking great. You'll beat me to Boise Im sure. I have a little vacation coming up so I will be across the Pacific probably when you get to Stick and Rudder.

    I don't think I'm quit caught up Eddie, but close. It's crazy to think it's almost ready to fly. I'm going to try to get up to Boise the second week in March. A trip across the Pacific sound like a nice alternative though. Targeting March 16 for airworthiness inspection.

    Prop balanced and brake pads glazed today. Weighing it on Tuesday. My turbo blew a bunch of oil into my airbox. May need to seat the ball in the check valve. Other than that, she's pretty much done. Inspection some time in the 2nd half of March.
