Congratulations Walter! Hope things go well during your phase 1 hours. Makes me wish we had started a few years ago instead of just getting started. Any photos?

Thanks for the well wishes. Sure was fun to get that box of
aluminum in the air. It flies very well, no heavy wing and
is very responsive. Feels Great!

I hope to have some video and pictures pretty soon.

I did write a brief summary of the day at http://www.rv7-a.com

Keep pounding those rivets.
