Outstanding! I'm sure I don't have to tell you not to rush to fly it tomorrow if the wind's not right. And if you're like me, you're probably ready to slap the next guy that asks you when it's going to fly! Wouldn't it be fairly safe to just fly it with the same prop and pitch as you had before, but with a little boost dialed in? But maybe I missed it and you have a different prop now. Still it seems like the amount of boost is something you could work up to in steps, if that's physically easy to accomplish. Then you could dial in more boost as your experience level increased, or at least at altitude. Of course that's easy coming from me, just barely getting back in the saddle, and brand new to tailwheels. And I've got no room to talk...I'm going from 65 hp champ directly to a 135 hp KR2S, with a tad of Starduster, Swift, and KR2 time in between. I've spent the last two hours writing up a punch list (filling one page, and fearing the next), and then some time just sitting in the cockpit dreaming. I can actually visualize flying it now, and I'm already fired up about it. So far I have 24 items on the list, so if I do just one a day...
