EAA Experimenter 29
I turned the H-5 over to a very
experienced and enthusiastic
commercial test pilot friend who
logged a rigorous 10 hours to
declare us both ready for each
other. As advertised, the plane
looks beautiful and performs
excellently.
The H-5 features polished
6061-T6 aluminum with some red
trim (to minimize weight). The
plane has basic instrumentation
plus a vertical speed indicator,
Trans+C, and iFLY GPS. I didn't
attend a SportAir Workshop, but
I have encouraged several others
to do so. However, I did work
with all of the available EAA sup-
port services—technical counselors and flight advisors—in
three local EAA chapters, and they provided good help.
My favorite homemade tool was a 4-by-8-foot hardwood
plywood table with pipe legs. My favorite tools were three
worn-out rivet pullers freely exchanged by Home Depot.
Being a longtime EAA member of Chapter 170 in San Luis
Obispo, California, and having helped to build for others and
giving them consultation on their projects, I had abundant
helpful friends with lots of skills and tools. Thanks to every-
one who helped or just followed the progress.
