7.8 hrs today in the check out and flying it home. Now it's back where it was born. Long list of discrepancies and mods to do. OSH may be expensive this year..... More pics after it's cleaned up

 Sounds like a good "proving" flight back...  Always a good feeling when the bird is home safe and sound...

Are you bringing your new Commander to Oshkosh?   I'd love to see her if you are.  Mine is parked at Appleton this year.

Ed, I'll be down at KFLD with my 500A/colemill all week. We will be selling rides in our P-51 Mustang. Stop by if you get a chance. SBD pilot, Jim

Sorry I missed you.  I was at ATW from Saturday until Wednesday, camping.  Great show!  Wish I could have stayed longer!

I think I saw your acft on the ramp at KMEI while enroute to SnF. Lot's of electrical gremlins but we're gaining on them. I will post the following on Electrical but I'm looking for LED conversions for the 1495 reading lamps and other options for PAR 46 LED ldg lts. Had a potential from the Beech forum but the bulb required 3 1/2" clearance aft. Mine only has 2 1/2" clearance.

Yes.  That was me at MEI (one of my favorite stops).  I had the HSI go bad.  Spent the SnF week troubleshooting it.  Oh well...still not a bad week..
