When I started to taxi test my project I connected my electric hour meter leads so my hour meter would start recording the time. I quickly noticed it was inop. I called Wick's one afternoon at 3:00PM and my new hour meter was in my mailbox the next morning at 10:30AM !! I only live 100 miles from Wick's but I was still impressed with both Wick's and the Postal Service. Larry - (still waiting to get my final inspection) - Flesner P.S. On one of my last taxi runs I managed to keep the tail up for 500 feet or more and the KR on the runway. I have had several one or two second "powerful pucker" periods but for the most part the 30 or so runs up and down the runway have been uneventful. I have found that I can set the throttle to 2200 rpm with the brakes set and bring the tail up and balance it on the mains for as long as I want. The KR and I are both ready to get some distance between us and the ground !!
