Amazing feeling, RV grin happening for sure!

Thanks for all the support from this site!

Default Big day indeed, mate.

I am so envious of your progress. Congratulation!! I remember when after first getting my low time IO360 I wanted to start it right then. No prop. Just wanted to hear it run. However, I listened to VAFers and just pickled it. My FWF is close to finish so some day I will enjoy what you just enjoyed. Nice paint job too.
