Ready for a test flight!

During the last couple of days I got the Ford Trimotor ready for it's test flight.  I got all the controls hooked up and the radio programmed.  I changed props from the 7 x 5 to 7 x 6 and the power is up to 75 watts per pound which should be plenty of power for the type of flying I will do with it.  Since things have been disappearing in the clutter I started cleaning up the shop today.  I can see that it will take a few more days as I just got one bench about half done and did a little work on the electronics bench.
