Thanks to all for the kind words, the second flight was today with fewer nerves and just as much fun! I’m really happy with the performance. We are lucky to have the opportunity to build and fly these machines. To those building keep at it, it’s more than you expect!

Just returned from Bend Oregon and 2 months of painting and one year since the first flight last Nov 1st. Fabulous work by Steven and Brian at Cascade Customs and Design (CCD), very very happy with their work and attention to detail and I picked up a few knots to boot. Challenging winter flight planning back to Denver but picked up a heck of a tailwind in route. First picture below is in Logan UT on return flight. I "think" it's finally done... for now!

Beautiful plane Dave. It looks like you were one month ahead of me. My plane's first flight was 28 Nov 22 and it is currently at Glo Aircraft Painting getting its final colors. Enjoy your masterpiece.
