After 7 years of building my project became an airplane yesterday. It was an amazing day I will never forget. I really wanted to do the first flight myself, but being an ultra low time pilot I listened to smart people and had a super experienced pilot do it. I thought I would somehow feel cheated that I didn't do the flight, but I couldn't be happier. He said it flew beautifully and the engine and prop combo were so smooth it almost felt electric. Thank you to everyone here that have answered my stupid questions for years and for some that have provided amazing build sites that I spent hours perusing.
