Default N712BR is an Airplane!

By Federal decree I now own my first airplane - instead of a loose collection of parts. My FAA inspector was very nice (Rob Williams) and found no discrepancies. All-in-all very anti-climactic. Now begins the ground and flight tests.

I'm right behind you. I have already done the ground stuff and my 7A handles very nice, taxi'd up to 20mph, very smooth and predictable. I even had gust up to 20mph. Turns on a dime. Love it.
