7/1/11-Taxi Day! (Day 11 of the build)

Well we did it! N449MF is under it's own power. We taxied in the late afternoon. Most everything works as promised. We have some fixes to take care of next week as we prepare to go for our FAA inspection and our airworthiness certificate and then we need to fly for (40) hours to work out the kinks! Should be fun!


Electrons are flowing!
