thanks everyone!
thanks to you all!
building the airplane has been so very interesting in so many ways. looking back on the build i can say that i was never really building an airplane... i was too focused on building a part, fabricating a piece, or finishing an assembly... as all of the parts were completed the airplane sort of appeared! the end really raced up on me.
scott - i am also at arlington... on the far north end, come on by!
chad, brantel, tony - i expect to see you guys at a flyin soon!
vlad - your posts carry your enthusiasm with them and have always been great to read, you will be moving to an airport in no time.
jeff - you and your dad did an amazing job with the paintwork on your project... very inspirational but also very sobering for the effort to paint an aircraft. once i am out of phase one i would love to come see it.
lorne and bill - i love my engine. i am planning to collect thoughts on fitting it up and flying it in a new thread soon.
luca - your paint looks great! i can only imagine how much harder it is to build a project in Italy... congratulations, and hat's off to you!
jamie - the skyview is fantastic... the data overload is a bit overwhelming right now and i have turned off synthetic vision as it is a distraction for me while trying to become accustomed to the panel and tape gauges. the amount of information available on these glass systems is crazy. dynon addressed the noise on their units with capacitance filters and the leads are silent.
bruce - i am not sure if i will make it to homecoming this year but i will be down to see you soon... finish those honey-dos and go pick up a canopy!
