Well, after more than 2 years, it seems I have most of the bugs worked out of Xenos 068. After regrinding some exhaust valve seats, putting in a small NACA vent for fresh air for the Aeroinjector, etc, etc...I can cruise, fat, dumb and happy 90 kts at 2950 rpm. All in the green. It took as long to get this bird flyable as it did to build it!!!
The airframe itself is perfect... flies hands off at any speed, no trim tabs. Stalls are a non event. I have to work on landings a bit, I bounce now and then. 35 hrs TT so far. Want to finish up the EAA test flight book and sign logbook "Phase one complete"!!
