Getting ready for the first start up. A little dusty but looks good to me.

Re: XP102 outside for the first time!
Hopefully, I am not very far behind you,
so I know what you mean about the
dust!
I can't wait to get mine outside jst to
wash it!
Also, what engine/prop combo do you have?
Keep us posted & be safe!

There are many things that happen really fast when you are
flying an airplane. There is no sense in rushing any of the others.
I would much rather be looking down at the runway, than up at it.

I like the look of your panel. Can you provide some details and a better, clearer picture?

I have no illusions that with 30 feet of landing area to , I will pull my handle to full flaps and drop her in.
I will do 1/3 on downwind, 1/3 on base and full flaps on final.
It's how I learned and know.
I kept the handle so maybe one day,,,,,,,,,
Oh,,,,, and I still have my nose wheel just in case!!!!!!!!

What do you have to keep your windows open? Looks small and neat if it works good.

Ok. I need P/N's, cost
and availability on those
gas shocks, please.
I have been a little leary about
trying to order some.
Thanks!

Re: XP102 outside for the first time!
Sorry, I must be missing something, I am getting linked to the catalog page with six different sizes ranging from 4.33-9.05 inches. Still not sure what size, but from the picture you posted I would guess either the 7.08 or 8.26 inch extended length.
