Default Seems like a long time ago...

...since you helped me bend my rudder skin! Congrats on your first flight! Jealous for sure. Nothing like a Colorado RV-8 and mountains in the background on a sunny day (Haven't seen one of those for a while). Rain rain go away.......

Really! It has been two weeks now with rain. Rain is fine an all that, but this is sunny Colorado after all......

I fully intended to have 15 hrs on it by now. I've never seen weather like this in CO. Getting a lot of the fiberglass work done though.......

Default Round and round

That is a beautiful airplane, and a great first flight! You should feel mighty proud Bob!

I have never seen anyone work so hard to bring it all together. Well done!

Default Gringo Rocks

Truth be told, Jim "Gringo" Gray was with me for almost the entire journey. His Oshkosh award winning RV-8 is in the same hangar row and he would gently hold my feet to the fire to not just build, but build to a higher standard. And he would show me how....... Thanks Gringo...... I think :-)
