I AM in Canada and I watched the video :D

Congratulations! What a beautiful job you did on that airplane. You should be very proud.

I like the video stabilization on the camera video as well. Is that a camera thing or some software you have?

Thanks guys. Flies great no problems so far except tail wheel does not want to break free. Scott 3200 may be too much wheel? Wants to slide on the grass. Camera trick is a youtube feature.

Did anyone else notice the man on the ground using the handheld radio and wearing the headset. Now these guys know how to do this right.

At the first airpark I hangared the owner was an instructor. On my first flight I asked him to use a hand held and talk to me. He flat out said no way. I tried to explain it makes the first flight safer. He told me I knew not what I was talking about.

Michael, have you tried stick forward/stick aft when making a turn to see if there is any difference in breakout effort?

No not yet. I always tend to keep the stick back while taxing. I replaced the compression springs with extension springs but have not tried this change.I am thinking about going to a Matco wheel.
