Arguing on the internet is like having a competition to see who can hit a brick wall the hardest. You may win, but you're still an idiot.

Default Congrats

Congrats Fernando on getting through the first year!
My first flight was in late July 2010. I got through my test flight phase in late autumn, with about 35 hours on the plane now. As I eagerly wait for winter to wind-down, I'm looking forward to my first full season of flying my -9A. I don't anticipate getting much more than 60 or 70 hours total by the 1-year mark though (time and money constraints)!
