Congrats Bruce - been following your build and you certainly have a sweet ride. Look forward to doing a couple hundred dollar hamburger runs with you.

Talking First Flight Video

My son spent the afternoon editing the GoPro footage and created this video. The cheesey Top Gun soundtrack was his idea, not mine!

Very nice!! Great to have a fellow RV'er as a chase plane, and to get those cool in-flight photos. Have you wiped the Perma-grin off your face yet??
