> Four years ago, I had my first flight on March 28th, which ended up in a

> Today, I had my second first flight. I've been battling a list of
> squawks, and finally got most of them ironed out. I made two flights
> today, with the first one cut short because of high CHT's. I landed and
> discovered a disconnected colling duct to the plenum. I fixed that, and
> went for a second flight. I cut that one short because I thought the
> smell of smoke was getting stronger. I think there's some RTV and other
> materials that are just outgassing, and will make odors until they are
> good and baked. After that flight, I was just too tired to go up again,
> and called it a day.

> I still have some issues to address, but the important thing is that now
> I can actually begin working the flight tests. I think I'll change my
> sig to test pilot now.
