On March 29th slow-build project S/N 140184 was officially pronounced an airplane by Vern Darley. Great guy and tons of RV-specific knowledge. I was very confident in my work after his inspection.

April 7th around 4PM...I’m 3,500 MSL over west Georgia in an airplane I took out of boxes piece by piece and put together with the help of a wonderfully supportive family and some pretty awesome neighbors. (Also Vans, Lycoming, Steinair, Emagair, Garmin, Flightline Interiors, B&C, Airflow Perf, TS Flightlines)

33 hours of phase I to go, then paint.

One of the coolest things was looking out at the trailing edge of the wing with the flaps in reflex. Arrow straight from root to tip. :):):). Fun to fly? Yeah baby!!

Very Cool, James

We have got to get together and compare grass strips.

Yours looks very nice

Ours is in Taylorsville , just a few minutes north of you

2 family RV's, 1 Taylorcraft, and one C-172 on the field.
