the chip light is a good idea, b/c once and engine starts to go, it's best to get'er on the ground under power than not and if somethings gone amuck, i want to know about it before oil coats the wind screen. i can't wait to fly that bird again. it's agile yet stable. move the yoke right the plane banks right and stops when you stop with no play in the flight system at all. just a complete joy to fly. i didn't however take off, land or taxi. the wheel brake is a handle on the yoke and depending on which main wheel you want to apply pressure to you push on that side's rudder. that would take some getting used to.

on the flyby clip, i put that in there because we were supposed to have gone up with them but Ed was late for the preflight briefing and rather than have everyone rebrief, he just told them to go ahead and we'd go goof off for a bit. perhaps i'll get to go in the next month or so and get some pictures of a wingtip to wingtip clearance of about 6 feet!
