I am green with envy. Good luck with the first flight and all subsequent enjoyment of your bird.

Congrats Bob! I'm about a year behind you and looking forward to the day when I get my pink slip. Looks like a sweet looking plane. I think we need some pics in the tail art section.

I have to admit that I'm a bit green with envy as well.....
I seem to be going for the 'longest build' record!
See you on the 4th!

Default A few pictures




These are some pics I had on my phone from a while back. I'm not home this weekend, so this is the best I can do for now. The outside shot is from first engine start. I hope you like the paint job, I love it. Bob
