Russ, no stick shake so it must have been me and yes a certain amount of pressure. I am using the Rob rotors that have the VR7 high performance helio airfoil over the last 4' near the blade tip.

Lots of little things to tidy up today like adjust the rudder to nose wheel to pedals, and the pitch trim spring needs a little more tension etc. Engine wanted to over rev with 12 degrees. I had it set at 14 but I thought she was bogging down. That was not the case, it was the inlet manifold butterflys on one side, which I had forgotten about, that were closed that made one side run extremelly rich. It took 2 pressure days to find the problem.

Aussie Paul.

Hi Paul

Looking good, keep up the good work the light at the end of the tunnel might just be the finish line and not the headlight of an oncoming train mate
