Default Congratulations..

....for sure Geoff. Hey, it's not "just another" RV...it's the most special one you'll ever know....the acomplishment alone is one that very, very few aviators experience, building an airplane and then flying it!! Great,

Regards,

Default Great new!

Congratulations. I'm with Pierre, that's not just another RV, it's the one you built with your own hands. There can be no more special plane.

Default Just another???

Don't hide either the blood, sweat, and tears involved in the process, or the pride attached to getting it done.

Congratulations, and have a great Phase I.
