While I was building it I said to myself I wish this was done so I can just
go fly it. Now that the day is here... I'm nervous.

At least you know who built it and how, and believe me that is a major
consolation when it comes to that test flight!

David,
Think what it would be if you didn't know.
Suppose some unknown, inexperienced builder had really screwed up or
hadn't followed plans or hadn't had an experienced builder or A&P or AI
check it out, had substituted inferior make-do material, or had rebuilt an
already messed-up airplane in a hasty fashion, then painted it to cover the
flaws and dumped it on you, an unsuspecting buyer .
You are in fat city, man. Sure you'll be in puckerville for a while, and you
may need to tweak some minor things after the first few flights, but your
attention to what you did and the loving care you put into your work will be
rewarded.

I lucked out. Thanks to years of buyin 'n flyin Gen Aviation annualled junk,
having a few initial exciting moments, then fixing it up as I went, I got
thru this surprise package.
I kept from getting killed in the mis-rigged, loose-throttled, no-history
pig-in-a- poke red Kolb when I got it took it up in mid-May shortly after it
was trailered in from Texas. Only good part of that aerial rodeo was a
greased no-power landing on dirt when I got it righted and headed the right
way.
This morning's one-door off flight was different. Rough on the left ear, but
bird handled okay except for one bumpy windblast off Monticello Peak north
of the TorC airport. Was able to get a few decent pictures and 532 engine
was okay. Aside from slight dif in CHTs and some dif in EGTs which I'm
trying to iron out..
