Well...Done...Sorta
Well I'm legal. Thanks to everyone on this board for your advice and comments - couldn't have done it without you. Special shout-outs to locals Rich S and Denny M for flight time and tech support, and to Dave (yes that Schmetterling's Aviation blog guy) - lunch and/or beers on me if we ever meet some day - you saved me from myself a few times!
Also Barb B at Van's deserves a lot of credit for helping keep this thing on track over 2 years!
First flight tent Nov 4. Then test phase, wheel pants/paint/throttle redo...does it ever end? lol.

Nice job, it looks very nice. Congratulations.
You've made the mistake of flying it before you finished it. It's such a nice flying airplane that it's tough to stop! I've got a few things I'd like to change but can't bring myself to stop flying it.

How come it says Vans aircraft as the builder?
Did you have vans build it?
Interior looks nice. I like the seats. Simple but nice

Built as an E-LSA has to have Van's as the builder.
Abby and Flightline deserve all credit for the seats - saddle leather with cream - i think I drove her crazy over a year with questions. I think the upgrades were definitely worth it.

If it ELSA Vans will be the builder on the reg. If it is EAB, then the last name of the builder will be registered.
