Brief Description: 1st Long cross country

This was the 1st long flight from Loveland to Wray, Co to Julesburg, Co and back to KFNL Loveland so I would be away from the high traffic area and give me more time to concentrate on tweeking things. Engine and flight controls work perfect but have some problems with no pitch commands to the true track which I need to research. The truetrak Auto Pilot held the track from the flight plan and altitude but didn't intercept it.The trip took 2.4 hours and covered a lot of ground. I want to get everything working right before I install the wheel pants but right now I am very happy with the pile of rivets, parts, blood, sweat, frustration, money, etc that I put into this 3yr and 4 month project.
