Fantastic day!

First flights today of N986KD EX-2.
Special thanks to Mark Keneston for his help in getting me back in tailwheel shape, Mitch for being, well...Mitch (sorry for bugging you so much) (great help on the panel placards etc.etc.), Dave Embry and Chuck and Ryan's great forum posts, JeepGord for taking me float flying.

I put in Ly-Con IO340 10:1 compression fuel injection. Vetterman exhaust (makes great cabin heat! - but check back next winter) IFR set up with Garmin G3X and GTN625.

First short flight early this am (No squawks!) Decowled, checked everything and then back out for an hour of hard running to get the rings set.

I am following the excellent EAA flight test manual:
