Default Hey Guys, Moved to the Airport Today

My kit arrived at the end of March 2007, today it arrived at VPC. Won't be long now, got to get the paper work in order then I'll tear up the N. Ga. skies.



Hauled my last 4 or5 airplanes like this, works pretty good. Luckily I only live 7 miles from the airport.

Wings attached.



Sorry so long but after a year and a half, this is pretty exciting.

Default SWEET!

Bill,
What a beautiful 8. I hope that you will get her airborne soon and then grace our pancake breakfast at Lawrenceville soon.

Default Great!!

Bill,

Good job. I like to see builders get kits done in a reasonable time. I think you will be a fly-er too. Hope to see you at the fly-ins.

Stop in Fort Worth, TX. T 67. Welcome here.

Thanks Todd and Daniel, lots of blood, sweat, and tears. Alex, I figure about 30 knots dirty with full flaps and flaperons. Jay, I love flyins so I'll probably see you soon.

Default Nice - now, back to work!

Now that you're almost done playing around with that thing, don't you have an RV-9 to paint? The rest of us want to fly, too!

Nice looking, Bill. Come get a pancake on me.
