Congrats Rick! That picture of your panel is almost enough to make me order the upgrade. Almost.........

There won't be much free time for at least a month, but now, some of the "work" will be doing the test flights.

Rick - please report to Vans and ask what number flying RV12 you are. Also, what's your kit S/N?

Great going Rick! It is truly amazing to have seen all those parts come together to build a flying machine. Having watched it go together I know this bird is one of the best, if not the best built rv -12's around.
