Congrats. However, that's probably not the last one. Heck, I'm expecting the DAR next weekend and I'm still not sure I'm done. Hmmm, come to think of it, I've still got the gear intersection fairings to do...

Haha...that's such a cool post. I've been flying for 180 hours now and I just drove about 8 AN470AD4 rivets last week (my Dynon pitch servo install). :-)
