Just finalizing all the settings before the big spark next week.  It will =
be nice after 6 years to make some smoke...
I noticed that my flaps are moving down to around 30 degrees, 10 degrees =
less than the plans.  This is due mainly to the amount the control horn =
intrudes into the back seat which I could change with some rasping etc.  =
Will 10 degrees make much difference, what do you drivers use, do you ever =
use full flaps?

Thanks
Doug

So I won't be flying with an EFIS until someone can prove they're safer.
