Default Introducing........

.......N151E! Sunday was the day and the 4 1/2 year project became an airplane. The inspection was done by Mel Asberry and went with only a few squeaks(not really squawks). Now to put it together and get on with Phase 1. First flight should be soon. If only I didn't work for a living.

Yes, me too. Another thing I love is spotless bright hangar floors. Have the red&white Catto prop, just wish I had that spotless bright hangar floor underneath it!

+1 more congratulation.

Don, I was looking at the nice picture of your new plane and the first thing I noticed (besides how nice it looked) was there are no BIG TIRES! I guess they will come after phase 1!

Nice job and have fun with your new plane.
