Congulations - you have earned it!
Jerry, thanks for your great videos and web site. 37 months may be the longest 12 build so far but would be pretty good for any other hombuilt. Also some of us may take your 'title' away.
Keep up your posts.
-Dave

37 months
Congratulations Jerry!
Hearing that you're in the air renews my hope. Unless a "rich uncle" suddenly appears out of nowhere, I'm virtually certain that I'll surpass your record this fall. Nevertheless, we're enjoying our build and appreciate this community and the lessons everyone is sharing.
Clear Skies!

Now that was one short flight. Nothing like being cautious. Looks like if you had held that attitude a bit longer, it would would have been up, up and away.
Congrats, you made the first flight.

I have to admire your tenacity. If I were to quit building for a month, I would never get back on it again I fear..

Congrats
Well done, Jerry. For a while I thought you had vanished from the planet. But obviously just busy completing your plane ;-)
Cheers...Keith

Well done!
Congratulations Jerry. You don't know me since I don't build and am just a lurker... but I've followed your build from the beginning and all of the videos you posted on youtube and I must say that you are a REAL inspiration to those of us who may one day follow in your footsteps. Enjoy the accomplishment, its well deserved.
