Well done, that's excellent news.
Tom was a dear friend of mine and and he told me how glad he was his project went into (your) good hands.
Thanks for seeing it through and for sharing, made my day.

I'm surprised I'd forgotten to share a photo on this thread in 2022 after Falsi-Fighter became airworthy, but here's one of the best I have so far. It doesn't look like this right now; the wheel fairings are off for winter, being repaired and redesigned after the first-round damage that seems to be a common occurrence with wheel fairings. 84.6 hrs. as of last Monday. Still work to do, but she seems to like to fly.

Default 99.999% Finished!

This was a father son project. My dad and I got our air worthiness certificate in October of 2021. We have flown it a bit working out the bugs and tweaking the avionics. We just picked it up from the paint shop. The pictures don't do the paint justice, as always. The metallic black really shines! All that is left is out tail art, pilot insignia, painting of the prop and some interior detail work.
We spent a couple weeks coming up with our paint scheme and couldn't be happier with how it turned out.
