At the risk of sounding like a broken record........thanks everyone for the comments. This chopper is almost ready for 'da man', Tom Milton to come down and do the airworthiness inspection. If it passes, then I am down to requesting a factory checklist to see if all is in order for Doug Schwocherts 4 day intensive factory checkout, and its first flight.................Everything I have done wil be scrutinized, adjusted etc. The main and tail rotors will be static balanced, then the turbine will be first started and adjusted. The main rotor will be electronically balanced very precisely, as well as the tail rotor. The cg will be adjusted, then Doug will first fly my baby to further adjust the settings of trim etc. Then It will be my turn as I take flight in my own helicopter, tbe TURBINATOR, as I fulfill a 30 year goal of mine of flying my own helicopter that I had built. I don't take this lightly, as its the biggest 'material' goal I have ever set for myself. I am excited to say the least. I am almost there. Stan
