For the last month I have been flight testing the rebuilt ASW 27. The program is going well and I am nearing completion of the required phase 1 testing. I still have max gross weight, final spin testing and a tow test for completion. So far I have only been able to self-launch since no towing is available this late in the season. The twin turbines are working well and provide a solid 600 fpm climb rate at these cooler fall temperatures. The steerable tailwheel is also working well and provided good directional control during takeoff and landing.

Here is a link to a compilation of short clips from the flight test program.

gliderpilot.net mangles urls. Take out the "3D", should be

That worked, thank you.

Chris, maybe a link to your youtube channel instead?

Nice video. Welcome to the jet club. BTW, your canopy needs cleaning. Also, Bob Carlton and I have found that Windex easily removes the residue from jet exhaust on the tail. Use REAL Windex. Some of the off-brand blue glass cleaners won't do it.

I'd be concerned Windex would also remove the wax; instead, I suggest trying Nu
Finish polish, which does a great job of removing the Rotax 912 exhaust grime from
the belly of my Phoenix. It's liquid enough to apply, and leaves a wax coating
that makes it easier next time.

Thanks Mark and Eric for the tips for the degreasers. I have been searching for the right product.
