Thanks Harlan. My thoughts in watching your videos and posts during your build was "There's a man whose doing this right" in that you always seemed to have family helping out. Willingly helping out. And you got a sweet plane to boot!! I made an error in my thinking on how long it would take the FAA to give me a N number (given I am a retired simple servant you'd of thought I would have had a better grip on that) so am weighing the plane today and for the most part, am ready to submit my paperwork and get the DAR to inspect once I get my number. Then it's probably wait out Winter and fly in the Spring. The wife is taking flying lessons as we speak and is very excited to go!!
