Happy Birthday, and congrats.

Wow! If I did the math right, that's about 37 months. I passed age 60 46 months into my build and wasn't even close to ordering the finish kit...
 
Well Done Bill!

Great job, and welcome another NC RV to the local airspace! Where is your Phase1 area? Im holding an RV/Rocket gathering at 8A7 on the 16th of April if your flying by then..we have several RV's and an F1 Rocket based there, with 2 more RV's almost ready for first flights. Are you basing at KGSO? My day job is there, so I will keep a watch for you !
 
I have been retired the last 2 years so got to work on it pretty much full time. What a difference that makes!!

The plane is based at KBUY, test area 100 miles. Mid April is probably a little early to think I will be venturing away from the airport but hopefully I can meet up with you all another time!!

Bill
