She flys!
I flew it! I was out at the airport and I though it was going to be a lousy day. I was cleaning up the hanger going over the plane and it started clearing. Then I saw the sun beaming in. I rolled her out and took off. I was up for 45 minutes. She flew perfectly, straight and level, hands off.

Congratulations
Richard,
That was fast. I mean the duration of your project. I remember seeing your bird damaged by fire I could not imagine you could finish her in such an elegant way. Who did the paint job?

I did
I was really nervous about painting. I never really painted anything before, just rattle cans on small stuff. But she turned out ok.
P.S. It wasn't fast. The fixup after the fire was 2 1/2 years. Though it wasn't painted before the fire so the painting was in addition. It took me a year just in paint. I'm slow.

Congratulations! It will be at least a month before you can wipe that grin off of your face.

Richard,
Congrats on the maiden flight. I too really like the scheme and may "borrow" it or some aspect of it. Someone said it was in a fire, i'd like to see the before pictures of it.
