Default Good job!

It's quite an accomplishment and nothing you'll ever do will compare with that feeling. Enjoy!

Smile Congratulations Scott and company

Great Job Scott! I am sure you found cloud #9 while you were up there. Now don't forget to give that great friend who kept you company in the garage a ride in the end result.

Congratulations! I'm about ten years and 2000 kits behind you (82790)-I can only hope mine turns out as nice!

Best wishes,

Thanks for the builder motivation!

Dad-burn-it!
I was in Merced on 5-28-08, and couldn't find you.
I am SO pleased you made it into the air.
We will have to do the Eagle Field thing together.
Griff.

Default Amost done too....10 years as well...Congrats to you!

Well your post served it's purpose if your goal was to motivate. Wasn't it you who put out that awesome video? I could see you dog aging a little with the progress of your plane (being a vet I notice those things. I too am almost at the tenth year of my RV-8 project and have only the cowling and baffling to do. I expect to finish in July, the ten year point. S/N 80712 (picked up in April 98). LOVE THE PAINT DESIGN!
