Thanks, Jim...keep going...you'll get there. It sure looked like a
daunting task early on, and I don't wanna think about how much fuel
it took to get there, but it was fun, and keeps on being fun. I gotta
think of another milestone to shoot for now. A friend asked me how
far I had probably flown, and I guessed at about 85-90,000 miles....3
times around the world?

Memorable moments....well, I wasn't a pilot until I got trained in
it, so I missed flying the first flight, or the next 40 hours, but I
sure gave 'er hell after that! Probably flying it to California from
Michigan, or being allowed to fly it into the Old Rhinebeck Aerodrome
airstrip were a couple of good accomplishments. On the bad side of
things, finding a wheatfield in which to emergency land was
memorable, as well as....when out of fuel...spotting a nice strip of
grass and getting 'er whoa'd down on that strip, then discovering
that it was a little-used airport after all. Flying on skis up to
Oshkosh the first (and so far the only trip there on skis) time was
pretty neat, too...yeah, the spot landing at Oshkosh during
Airventure and the subsequent running out of fuel 20 feet off the
runway was exciting....not really out of fuel that time. The fuel had
just moved to where I wasn't getting it...forward, in this case.

I have a Warp Drive right now and thinking about changing if you could have any
prop electric ground adjustable, manual Ground Adjustable, or even not adjustable
which one would it be and why? Some one said there was a carbon fiber that
acted like a electric in flight but was just ground adjustable. It would flex
enough to give u good take off and would bite in was you got faster. Warp drive
taper tip right now takes off good and(800 or better FPM at 60 mph) will run
the plane all day at 105 and 5,300 to 5,400 RPM. Thnaks all

I'll probably slow a bit now....but I'm thinking of getting some

I'm the 4th owner, but the one who completed the remaining 80-85 % of
the work, and (because I wasn't a pilot at the time) watched it fly
for the first time. I got my (continued) flight training in it
starting at the 40th hour of its' life. : )
