1. Captain, if the problem is not entered into the technical logbook.........then the aircraft does not have a problem.
2. And, if you have time to write the fault on a napkin and attach to it to the yoke.........you have time to write it in the tech log....see point 1.

It is a tad Flash Gordon, but considering its pre-WWII it was a very advanced design!

I have been following this build closely. A couple years ago they trucked this bird under construction to Oshkosh for the show. Very high quality build!

I cannot wait to see more on how it flies, but the stability is a concern.... for me....small horizontal area and small moment arm for that area...same with the vertical area.....all that combined with the large wing leaves a possibility of pitch AND yaw instability....I guess we will find out!
