REFLECTOR: Hope

[David Ullman]

I wont be able to make Osh this year.  Just no money and time.  

However, to give encouragement to those still building, I am 35 hours into
my 40 hours for the FAA (Oh, that's where the money is going!!).  Everything
is working well and my piloting skills are getting better.  I can land in
less than 2000 ft with a good cross wind.  I haven't even scared myself real
bad, yet.   

Adding the Dynon autopilot was a really good decision as it works very well.
The only technical thing left to do is to realign the gear so it tracks
better and add the wheel pants.  I will finish the interior and paint it
over the winter when the flying is poor. 

I will write up the performance when I get the wheel pants on and post it
here.

Thanks to all who helped with advice and postings.
