It was the morning after the wedding. Some of the harder partyers couldn't make it...

Well this update isn't about my Waiex, but it is about me! I made this video today after flying a Pilatus PC-12 (the "work" plane) to the service shop for its annual maintenance.

Basically, I'm just testing out my camera setup for the first flight of my Waiex, hopefully before too long!

If it was me, I would have started off saying "added a couple bells & whistles to the Waiex." Nice video.

It's always impressive to see a professional pilot working the myriad buttons, switches and controls in a complex aircraft. I'd say your test video was successful!

Ryan, where'd your blog go?! I feel like I'm in uncharted territory without being able to directly copy your work!

I'm having issues with the web hosting provider. I fully intend to get it back up, updated, and finish the project soon.

I'm glad you are finding the blog useful, though!
