Thanks for the kind words everyone. I took off early from work yesterday because it looked like the only decent weather we were going to get for a while. I'm glad I did, here's the local forecast.
It looks like it'll be a few days before I get the second solo in...

Congrats, Paul. Welcome to the club! I'm sure you will have many hours of intimate pleasure with your new friend. It's a special time when you latch the canopy and line up with the runway. Enjoy!
Savor those moments between glances at the engine instruments when you look out at the rows of rivets in the wing skins and say to yourself, "I built this. I set those rivets. Every one of them. The arteries that feed the engine -- I made every one. The nerves that connect each system -- I connected them."
Enjoy those moments that only builders know.

I'm still here.
Vlad,
I've pretty much become a full time fixture at Stanley, except when I have to go do that work thing. The flying is going good and between Tom and me, we just about have the hours flown off and soon will be able to go somewhere.
The airplane is working good, flies great and it's fast... at least it's fast compared to what I'm used to. It sure feels good having a flying airplane!
Now that I know I can build a plane that will actually fly, I may just build another one. Adele's reaction

Great news Paul! When are you going to do a painting of her?

You have a really nice airplane there, Paul. I hope mine turns out as nice.
Thanks for showing her to us last week. I hope this is just the beginning of many years of RV8 flying enjoyment for you.
And thanks also for showing us around your fabulous airfield.
Steve

Thanks Bill,
I have the image for a painting of it pretty much figured out in my mind, it's just a matter of taking the time to put it on canvas. I plan to work on it in the hangar beside the airplane.
