    No update other than say a prayer for me, cross your fingers, do whatever you do.......final exam is tomorrow 10am. I feel like I do before a checkride.

    I've been following your build for a short time now.
    It has been a joy to read and learn from as I will be doing my own build in a few years time.
    Best of luck to you but I wouldn't sweat it.
    You got this.

    I wouldn't be nervous at all flying your machine. The quality of the build leaves me in no doubt that it would be an absolute joy and I would have no compunction about getting in it right now and taking to the skies.

    It has to be one of the quickest builds that's been seen in these parts as well

    Thanks guys for all the nice comments. Well all I can say is BOOHYA!


    Unfortunately when I woke up this morning I have some type of cold that is bugging my ears. I am hoping full recovery shortly, but I am going to wait until I am feeling better for the first flight. Inspection went good. I forgot to placard my baggage max weight. Had the label maker handy. Thanks Eddie for that idea. Printed a label and we where good to go. Other than that things went smooth. It took about 2.5 hours. 1.5 worth of the paperwork/stories and 1.0 of inspecting plane. He went over pretty much everything. I did not need to remove the wingtips, or side panels of center console. I did have the seat out and the cargo bag folded down for him. He found two bolts on the pully's for the rudder cables that where not showing a full thread and half like is called out but said he is not concerned about them coming loose but maybe change them next year on the annual to slightly longer bolt. Glad to be signed off! Looking forward to first flight!

    Thanks guys! I will let you know how it goes. Anyone with garmin autopilot do you have starting numbers as far as your settings to get me close? Not that I will be using that anytime soon.....
