Dang. That's gotta be some kind of record for a first-time builder. Congratulations!

Thanks Kevin, I doubt it's a record but I was really happy to finish in a year. I screwed up the timing of ordering the Finish Kit, so I ended up having about 10 weeks without anything to work on....that was hard!!

It's a really neat event when all the sweat, blood and tears finially get rewarded. Congratulations, you are going to find you have built one of the greatest flying machines!

Congrats Paul!
The real Fun begins in the air. More exciting that taxiing in the court 
I will be watching for the first flight video!

Oh, I have no intention of flying it, I just want to taxi around. Flying is dangerous and insurance is very reasonable for a "taxi only" policy!!

Congratulations! I just got mine earlier this year. I was especially taken back by the photo with the wings off! I had a DAR travel to me (for $1250.00) saying he wanted the wings off, when he got here his boss said he could not give me the AW because the wings were off! (But he would be glad to come back when the wings were on for another $1250) Some of the confusion comes from a DAR saying he wants it all opened up as ready for a condition inspection, but being unaware that the wings come off on a 12 for a condition inspection.
