Geek's STi Build

Congrats Gary. I look forward to seeing you and the Fox at the Flying in June.

Finally!!! The weather gods and schedules aligned. AlexM (of Project 5 Build) came over to Cashmere to give my plane its first flight. (Me with zero tailwheel didn't think it prudent to try it on my own) and it actually flew. Appears I need to do some work with the pitot system as it only registered 45 KIAS when he was up cruising at altitude. But the rest seemed to be all there.

Great to see it Gary. Now go get some tail wheel time.

Congrats again Gary! Looking forward to hearing and seeing you at the controls. And I'd guess you'll be finding a leak in the pitot line.

Yay! You really tore through that build; well done, Gary.

Yes, he kicked our butts and did a beautiful job on the build! Hopefully he'll let me fly it again.

Your plane looks and sounds terrific! A fantastic accomplishment for you and kudos to your intrepid test pilot!

Minor thing airspeed, lol - you'll have it squared away in no time.

Well done team Geek!

Thanks all. Could never have done it without a lot of help from this forum. Some really good people here so willing to help.

Now I guess the fun begins learning to fly the tailwheel.

Great build Gary! The fun is only beginning!
