15 hours to go

My testing phase has been going very well. I have about 25 hours on the plane completed out of the 40 hours of testing. Not bad for only 5 weeks.

I have a stupid little oil leak that is driving me crazy. It doesn't leak much, but you can spread 1/2 teaspoon of oil a long way....

I have done spins, loops and rolls for my aerobatic tests. Loops and rolls are non-events. Spins on the other hand are quite scary. They are slow to start, but spin like crazy once they get started. It is easy to overspeed (over 200mph) on exit if you aren't careful.

I need to finish making the heater. I had longjohns, wool socks, sweater, sweatshirt, jacket and ski gloves on the other day and I was still cold.
