GOOD FOR YOU!!

Congratulations Lonnie!

That's an experience only matched by first solo and first love.
 
Congratulations Lonnie. Can't wait to the day i don't have any more deburring to do! Just finishing up my tailcone and waiting on my fuselage and wing kits.
 
Great post Dave. My experiences so far, in other peoples -12's, is just like yours. Pleasantly surprised, very pleased, and a great incentive to to get it done. Some people badmouth the 912 but I find that's because they don't have any experience with it. Some say the -12 is noisy but that has not been my experience either. Others badmouth the control harmony and say it's not like other RV's but since I have no RV experience I wouldn't know. I only know that it flys great!
