Great video, thanks Rob

Loved the video Rob. Congrats on an awesome build! What helmet are you using? I'm pondering the idea and doing some searching. Yours looks fairly light/comfy. Thanks!

Thanks! I am using the SkyCowboy helmet. I purchased the DIY kit and installed my Bose A20's. https://www.skycowboysupplyco.com/pr...ithout-headset

Cool vid. Felt like I was there! You AND your copilot did a great job!

I read somewhere the Fisk arrival is available on some flight sim software. Various airports around the world require various levels of experience to fly into, as do certain regulatory agencies and airlines. That experience is either flying in with an instructor, or doing the arrival/approach in a sim. Sometimes both. Good idea I think.

Good video, looking forward to the upcoming teased video about the 40 hour phase one stuff

Rob;
Before B model (Riblett airfoil) 4 place Bh's said flying at high power (60-75%) resulted in sensitive, very nose low attitudes and a bit twitchy. You are running high power to break in your engine. Does the Riblett airfoil change how it flies?

John, what you describe was not my experience with the original 4412 airfoil. At a high cruise setting it does fly a little nose low. But not twitchy or sensitive. And it is not that nose low. Just a little. At least that is what I felt and saw in mine. I am talking about middle CG range - not full aft CG. Mark
