Great news Trevor!

Congratulations!

I agree The VAF site is the most valuable part of the build with all the people here to gain from their knowledge.

But, you were a big help to me while I was getting my avionics fined tuned before and after first flight.

Great job and hope to make it out someday to see it in person.

Congrats on the first flight. Mine was about 1 year ago and the grin hasn't come off yet.

Have fun with Phase 1!
