Rolled over the prop and had compression on all four pots this time, so will put the previous issue down to carbon fleck under the valve seat. Sky looked magic... rotated off 23, got to 500' and started hitting bumps, climbed through to 1000' and started getting thrown around like a cork in a kiddie pool; oh well we're up here now, may as well put in some time; wasn't fun. Flew around for 30min and brought 181 into circuit at 100kt downwind, maintained 1000' and 100kt before turning final for undercarriage and flaps followed by dropping it all the way in at 1000fpm and 70kt for a great landing considering having rough air and then tree rotors to play with; glad all the great training kicked in. Engine ran really sweet; ready to sort out and tune for mixtures.

At only 18 lbs, he fits nicely on top of the cockpit module between the headrests. Heather says he really pays attention and anticipates what is happening, like engine start, take off, gear movement etc. He looks out some and then sleeps.

I filled up, right up the neck a couple of days ago and no abnormalities. Today i filled up and fuel was leaking significantly from the top tank shelf. Does anyone by chance have a fuel tank that they want to get rid of? I would also be interested in an unuseable one as i am toying with the idea of constructing an aluminum one. Photographs of the tank pre instalation would also be useful.
