Brief Description:  Phase 1 - Completed

Phase 1 - signed off and moving to Phase 2

Last flight to Gila Bend and back "mini X-C" route to the SW. Complex arrival overhead CHD and between Class B on the W and Class C on the E. Smooth and positive with all systems in the green. Fuel consumption is reporting consistent usage, and matches the tank sensors consumption. Engine running smoothly and except for the high AZ desert temperatures would be easy to manage.

AP is tracking well, and descent/climb inputs as well as turns are comfortably executed in "Simplify" mode.

Phase 2 plans are to now complete a series of post-test maintenance tasks; oil change w/filter, clean fuel filter, connect pilot stick AP Engage/Disconnect, possibly add Flip/Flop to stick, crotch strap on co-pilot side, headset 'hanger' for storage, add two tie-down points in baggage, and check all pivot points. Of course, add the fairings on the mains, and tweaks to the seat back brace (more tilt). Considering a floor of thin plywood with cross bar for traction to get out.

Probably do a re-weigh and modify the 'empty CG' if necessary but a few pounds will be added. May add 'pockets' on the aft side of the seats for misc items.
