Jealous.... Come help me knock mine out! I'm in the home stretch! At your speed, we could be doing mine in 2 weeks!

Congrats on the first flight. Stay safe and take your time.

Awesome news!

NICE
 
Really good video of the building highlights with the first flight.
Well done!

Congratulations
 
The enormity of your accomplishment is not lost on those of us still building. It is pretty amazing that a couple of young folks (kids :)) could knock out a -10. A big congrats to you two.

Quite an accomplishment!
 
This is the first -10 that I've done a test flight on and man, with only the pilot's seat, no interior or paint, it's a rocketship!

Brian and Brandi built the entire wiring harness as well...quite a feat and everything worked well, the Dual Dynons very bright and easily readable.

At my age, we' re not easily impressed but this one did it!

A big congrats for sure....and it may just see Osh ...THIS YEAR!

Best,

5 flights already.
 
Wow! 5 flights in 2 days you will have no problem getting your 40 hr before Oshkosh!.

Really enjoyed watching the first (3) flights.

Got my left door trimed and on its hinges last night!

Congratulations
 
It was fun watching you two fly through this project. I doubted your time schedule at times but you did it. Fly safe, have fun. By the time I get there we can fly together somwhere.

Wow, to be so young and have already reached the 4th level of Maslow's hierarchy of needs. Watch out World!
Congratulations. Watching the first flight was thrilling. Watching you two along the way was very rewarding.
