    Very happy for you Darrel. Love the paint scheme. Virtual handshakes and pat on the back.
    Enjoy every flight.

    Darrell..... Congrats! Heather and I are incredibly happy for you!! I remember sitting across the table in your kitchen and hearing how frustrated you were with your previous project and I was eager to see how you were going to enjoy the Kitfox build. Your plane is gorgeous. Something you should be proud of. I know your attention to detail and I'm confident it will be something you will enjoy!

    Geek - the answer (drum roll please) is in - the antenna works great. Took my longest flight today and listened to traffic and discussions over 70 miles away (ground and air) when I was at 4500 agl. I pick up AWOS stations when heading straight for them (I was a concerned that the the metal framework in front of the antenna would blank out those weak stations but fear not).

    Brandon - please tell the gang at KF the plane is a real pleasure to fly.

    Now, if I can only get it a tad slower on the approach . . . . . . . . . .

    18 hours in, only 22 to go, then I'm free!!!

    Darrel I just saw your thread this evening, you have been flying the wings off that great new airplane. 18 hours on the 15th, you are probably done by now! I am enjoying watching your progress.
