Congrats from another -9 driver. Post some pics if you have them.
If I'm not mistaken, you've got some good fly-in BBQ down there.

Congratulations!
Once the initial nerves dissipate its a great feeling to be in the air for the first time with an aeroplane that you built yourself.

Congrats and welcome, Robert. I look forward to the day of the first flight of an airplane that I actually built - it must be an amazing feeling. Enjoy Phase 1, and be sure to stick around; you've found a great community here.

Way to go, Robert!
Welcome to a most exclusive club. Not even the President or Pope have built and flown their own airplane.
