Excellent, and a great story
As it only took me 7.5 years, I may be no expert, but I think it means a lot more to "experienced" builders.
Great Job

WAY TO GO!!! That is an awesome write-up. It was very motivational to see how you stuck with it through the years while maintaining your priorities. Congratulations on a well deserved success.

Wow Kelly, Congradulations
What a great accomplishment to have completed this journey Kelly. I can still remember the day that you, Brian, and Jim came over to see my RV-9A project as you each considered building. Jim was committed and was obviously going to take the plunge. Brian talked of a fire breathing RV-7 with 200 plus horsepower which he also appeared to ready to tackle. Then there was Kelly Johnson walking around the plane while listening to his buddies as they made the decision to build. You had this look of "You've got to be kidding," but when you took the plunge you saw it through. Good for you Kelly, enjoy and above all else hold that nose wheel up.

Excellent!
Congratulations. Wish I was there to see it. I must have arrived just after you left. I didn't build my RV, so I can only imagine how proud you must have been yesterday. I'll look for you at South County. My hangar is at the north end of the field.
