Default Excellent!!!

Ron....it sure was exciting to see you and Wablosa jump off the ground Sunday morning. I don't think it could have gone better. Snow covered Colorado Mountains in the background at one end, and Denver's cityscape at the other. As soon as you took the active and gave her some throttle, that awesome red prop and healthy sounding engine did its thing, then off you went!!! You built a great plane and handled the first flight very well. Congrats and enjoy the benefits of all your hard work!

BTW...I also appreciate your excellent blog. It's been a good source of reference, entertainment, and inspiration.

All the best!!!

Congratulations!

Thanks for posting first flight reports help keep the building motivation up!

Where did you get your flight suit from? Always looking for B'day/xmas presents from the family! And if it doesn't go on or in an aeroplane, baw bawwww....

Congrats to Joe as well, (a new RV sucker is born everyday hey..)......
