Taxied for the first time
« on: October 21, 2019, 07:11:24 AM »
I managed to taxi the airplane for the 1st time Sunday.
It took me awhile to getting it running correctly. I then taxied it to the wash ramp and cleaned it before taxing it back to the hanger.
I need to adjust the pilot seat forward as I had to stretch too far to effectively work the pedals. Also I need to tighten up the rudder springs.

I've attached a few photos. Unfortunately it was an overcast day and some of the pictures are a bit dark.

At the moment the windscreen and front panels and doors are not attached.
