ZK-VII Construction Story & First Flight Video
Hi,
Finally got round to editing a 'summary of construction and first flight'.
Now available at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dal6ZoqPiNA
ZK-VII now has 45 ish hours on her, I sent off the paperwork last week to change from phase 1 to phase 2 and am starting to seriously think about painting / schemes / methods.
Lots of textual notes / comments about first flight / test was added to the original posting - see http://www.vansairforce.com/communit...php?t=26066#16
Those building - Keep pounding those rivets! Those flying - great isn't it! 
Carl

Thanks
Thanks guys for the compliments....
Saga is probably a good description - but rewarding. I'm sure some of the photos will bring a smirk / relevant thoughts back for others too.
Carl (return paperwork "in the mail" - now been grounded for a week  )
