Thanks to everyone who have responded to my many questions. Today, I hoisted the fuselage and installed the gear. RV8 owner and pilot, Danny Kight, encouraged me to keep the fuselage on the ground as long as possible. So, today was a real celebration of completion of nearly everything from the fire wall aft. I just wanted to share this milestone as encouragement to others and a reminder to many before me who have had this special day.
