    Default On the home stretch.

    Done, done, done. Just need some sleep and calm winds then I will fly it. I can't wait. 10.5 months build time. .

    Beautiful! I thought your color scheme was bold (almost too bold?) when I first saw your renders, but it came out looking fantastic. Looking forward to hearing about your first flying experiences, good luck with your next steps and congratulations on building such a stunning example of the EX2!

    BEAUTIFUL!! I love the colors. I built a racecar 17 years ago and used the same color scheme on it. Really stands out nice. Congratulations! I start my build next month.

    Looks great Troy. I'm sure it will fly as good as it looks too.

    Thanks for posting the weight too. I think the EX2 is 25 pounds heavier than the EX and the EX is about that amount heavier than the 1340 pound gross CCs.

    Troy, just fyi, I think they want you to keep the CHTs below 400 for breakin.

    You need to get it hot and run it hard if you want a tight engine. Anything below 450 is great. The harder you work it the better on a new engine. If I powered back, I would be at to low of setting which is not good for break in.

    Thumbs up Re: On the home stretch.

    I just thought I'd mention it because of what they told me to do during my break in. I didn't have much experience breaking in engines so I followed their instructions to the letter. Sounds like you are really enjoying how the plane feels
