Default Congrats!

looks well built. the 9A is a good xcountry machine. last week Cincinnati to El Paso, arrived 5:30 pm for tacos with my son. then on to Victorville CA by Marana airport. I'm continually impressed with the 9A.

Thanks for all the comments folks. It is a nice feeling after all the work. The only item noted on the airworthiness inspection was a loose nut (not the pilot) on the manifold pressure steel line. I hope that is a good sign. I love how this plane flies.
