Hi all,
After 13 years of construction, N125TY was signed off today by
John Shablow, DAR. I'm ready to go flying! Look for more updates in the
next week or so. (I've got to screw up my courage, as well as my abilities.)

Very good looking plane, Guy. Don't worry, when you'll push the
throttle and take off for the first time, your anxiety will turn in
pure euphoria that you will never forget!
When you will taxi for your first take-off, you will be nervous and
scared like hell. That's normal, very few pilots who are never scared
are still alive today. But once you have lined up and push the
throttle, you heartbeat will slow down, you will be the Pilot In
Command, and you will do what pilots do; make love to you aircraft.
Enjoy it!
Cheers,
Michel

We'll be all ears n eyes Guy..I've just completed 13 hrs from first flight. It's a time of high emotion, elation after that first flight mixed with apprehension due perhaps to lack of trust in one's own ability. All high feaver and fun stuff. John A.

What's that? Two years to make it fly and 11 to make
it look that good??? I suspect it will fly on
pride and use lift as a backup.
If you practice fly your first flight on the ground
sitting in the cockpit and drill yourself on all the
emergencies until you can do everything cold, your
first flight will be so easy you'll actually hate to
land. Make it an easy flight. Practice what you
intend to do. Practice what you might have to do.
Leave time to enjoy it. Then just go do it.
I stayed scared for 40 hours. Now I miss testing!
The maneuverability is so aw-sum that you will want to
try more things on every flight, so plan for the must
do's, and then add a few fun things for each test.
You're gonna' love it.

Thanks for all the kind words. Yes, I'm excited, because more and more I'm
thinking I'll do the first flight. Robert Harris was exceedingly kind to me
today, taking me up for an hour or so and even letting me try to land his
O-200 series 5. He's a very brave man. I'm going to get some more hours
this week and do some more taxi tests to ascertain whether the cooling
system's going to work.
Thanks again,
Guy Buchanan

I know the feeling 205AK was signed off a little over a week ago. It has 5
hours on it now but I have yet to fly it yet. I have very little tail wheel
time and thought it best to let someone with more experiance fly off the 40
so I can use an instructor for my first flight. You are lucky to be able to
fly with someone else in a similar plane to get the feel of it
