It's been quite a ride, Those who have completed the journey know that words just don't do it, but the GRIN just keeps re-emerging!!!!!

Hi Deems,

I'm glad to see you got the 10 in the air. Congrats.

The paint was by Rob Drew at Drew Brothers Customs. www.drewbrotherscustoms.com. He's in the process of updating his site with airplane pictures. His background is custom car painting. He's a pilot and knows and understands the weight issues.

He guided me on my paint job, but I did most of the work at his shop. One of his guys shot the clear.

He's done one of my neighbors Lancair 4T's, Deems 10 and an 8 out of Chandler and has a couple more in the planning stages.

All of the paint jobs are beautiful.

Deems, the plane looks great. Looks like it will be weeks before the 'RV grin' is off your face. I must admit I am jealous. I just got back from a year overseas. What better motivation to get back to fitting the canopy for me than see another -10 take to the air my first day back. Enjoy the flying. Congrats on a great looking plane.
