Default Now that felt pretty good. I soloed in my -8 today
It's been a long haul since I bought the kit years ago, but I finally soloed in my -8 today. I have to thank my test pilot/instructor Tom Sabean who demonstrated lots of patience and courage while sitting back there. No way I would have done that.

Now the journey begins.

Congrats Paul! I have your RV-1 print in my shop. I'll think of your solo while I'm building tonight.
