    Thanks! My manual is for a 6 so the pages don't match up, nor do i see that pin listed anywhere! Although, I do recall seeing something like that in the "leftover" parts bin. Will have to go take a look. Thanks Pat!

    Well, after more than a month at the hanger working out all the little details - some more frustrating than others - Northern Fox took flight yesterday! I've struggled with breaks, tail wheel concerns and just a bunch of little things that needed to be completed after moving to the hanger. The final puzzle was an adjustment on the prop to allow a finer pitch to reach full rpms for take off.

    I only have phone video as my go-pro failed to turn on and I dropped my dslr on the ramp - rendering it useless.

    So far 5 take offs and landings and initial testing showing a stall speed of about 37 kts and cruise of about 88 kts. Lots more testing to go!
