The hobbs rolled 40!
This evening, the hobbs rolled past the big forty!!! I'm outta jail now!!!
Enjoyed the practice area for at least 100 laps but it's time to venture out in the big world. Even managed to get 3 night landings in tonight. Man did they seem easy since the wind had died down.
Weather predicted to be ugly tomorrow so it gets a rest and then the bride gets THE first ride the beast will have as a passenger to her home town in Lousianna on Sunday.

I hope you guys enjoy the first flight together!
You know, that is sort of a test hop too...test item: "Do two ear to ear RV Grins fit in one cockpit?" 
Have fun!!
Cheers,

Lucky you! I've been getting mostly CAVU but blustery or low ceilings. Still, I'm up to 30 and hopefully can get it done in the next week or so. Enjoy that freedom.

Not so fast big guy, the FAA requirement is 40 flight hours. You have to subtract all of the time you run up the engine, breakin time, taxi time, landing roll outs, waiting for traffic, ect. You can't just go by the Hobbs meter hitting 40. 
I'm just kidding Web, congrats and have a safe passenger flight.

Congrats, Webb. Now you will learn the true meaning of "Life begins at 40."

Congrats. on the fly off. If you have a certified engine/new hartzell prop do they generally give you a 25 hr fly off?

YEP!
As long as there are no modifications to the engine. i.e. electronic ignition, etc.
