Default Congradulations

I started my kit just after Thanksgiving 2006, and flew it for the first time this last September. Your going to love that airplane. When are you flying up to help me paint mine?

Congratulations Brian. You were helpful in getting me started a year and a half ago. Now your helpful in keeping me motivated - hopefully flying a year from now. I look forward to seeing it in person. I still need to get over to see you. Even more reason now.

Hey Brian,

Fantastic, great video and the low pass looked as good as mine felt

You were obviously enjoying yourself and it shows.

The thing is, once you get airborne and you realise it is all working, there is this almost Zen like feeling of calm but with a little kid giggling away inside you !

You have nearly as much snow as we do, only thing is ours is all on the runway and we can't fly

We will though, we will....


Mike

Awesome, been following your page and threads. Congrats.

The Fuselage and wings in my garage seem even further from first flight now, thanks for that!

Sliced and diced the video clips of my most excellent Sunday....don't expect too much, but it kinda captures the afternoon excitement.
