Kelly,

Great job! Glad to see you flying. It has come a long way since I visited your project. Hope to see you down in SoCal sometime.

Kelly, great write-up. And great persistence in getting that aircraft into the air. I just love the first flight reports from guys who take the best part of a decade to build their projects (guess why).

Wonderful news, Kelly.

Your story is really hitting home as I should be taking mine to the skies next month sometime, assumming I finally get my paperwork with FAA right. I can still only imagine your excitement.

Here's hoping you have a great 40 hours of test flying and then are able to engage in many adventures after that.

Jeff
