Default VH-VNZ First Flight
Hi All,

You know how it is, the cut hands, lack of social life, short temper, long days, dwindling bank account, and then one flight makes it all worth it,

that was today for RV-7 VH-VNZ out of Bankstown, Sydney Australia.

When the controller said how'd she go I could only mutter... I cant talk for grinning!!!!

Thanks for everyones and in particular this website for all your much needed support. See you at OSH.

Congradulations Chad. Wow! It seems like only yesterday I met you in the hangar when Richard moved his -7 there. Well done. Your -7 looks great.
Cheers,
Cameron
