Default Airworthy!

After 5 years of building (almost to the day), I received my airworthiness certificate on Saturday. No issues were found during the inspection (though it wasn't incredibly thorough).

I'm heading up to Oregon next week to train with Mike Seager and should take it up for the first flight within two weeks!
