Big Day Tomorrow

Hey Guys,

Jenn and I are really excited for tomorrow (link).

1500 miles and the ultimate pilgrimage to the home of experimental aviation.

We are giving two tent talks this year, the Mojave Experimental Flyin Talk will be on Tuesday from 4:00 to 5:15, the Wasabi Siren talk will be on Thursday from 2:30 to 3:45.

Thank you for all the support!

See you at the show.

Relief tube in a pylon racer.

I am not sure having a relief tube in a pylon racer is something to be proud of, but we have one either way.

We spent the weekend on some of the million details that will determine whether or not our little racer makes the trip non-stop to the show.

Installed and tested our MGL Fuel Flow Meter
Installed the warning system for our alternator
Installed and tested our pilot relief system
Took the oxygen bottle to be hydro'd

We also found a problem with the gasket sealant we used to seal our long range tanks which required removing and re-installing the entire system. Luckily Jennifer doesn't mind getting her tiny hands (the only hands that fit down in the tank) covered in gasket sealant.

More to come!
