In trying to keep moving, I finally bought some radios for airplane / truck communications. They are some inexpensive GMRS handsets to stay off of airband. This may not be the final answer, but that's a starting point for having a conversation about a first flight.
Not many items are left in the to-do list...
To-do's before the first flight are now:
- do a weight & balance
- do a very thorough pre-flight check
acquire radios (need 1x in car, 1x airborne)
Deferred:
- finish weld trailer frame joints
- wing root kiss seal
- leather patch on wing tips where they rub the ground
- leather patch guides for elevator control lines
- trim color paint
- main strut fairings
- jury strut fairings
- emergency parachute
- drogue chute
- variometer
