Dreaming of Flying

Yesterday was an absolutely beautiful Oregon day.  Still a little cold, as it is the middle of February, but one of those days that makes you dream of flying.  Although flying season won't be on us for several months, a day like yesterday definitely gets the wheels turning.

Of all my projects, one is finally ready to go.  The last step for the Kawasaki trike was to build a trailer for transport.  It is now finished and also functions as a mobile hangar.  The trailer has a large ramp door which makes it very easy to move the trike in and out, with standing headroom so you don't have to stoop over. 

Within the last couple of months I also made a few improvements to the chassis.  I wanted to add a dual CHT, as when I purchased it there was only a dual EGT.  This will definitely be important for monitoring engine performance.  There was also a slight twist in the mast that I was not comfortable with.  I had Bill Larson at Oregon Aircraft Design do the work which turned out really well.  I have had a lot of good experiences with Bill and would definitely recommend him.

The only thing really left to do is test fly the trike.  It has been a little while since I have flown one....so I will definitely be taking it nice and easy.  Won't be for a few months, so I guess I will have to be satisfied with dreaming for the moment!
