    Woo hoo! Well done, Gary. Your building pace has put the rest of the Washington contingent to shame. I can't wait to hear how it flies.

    Let me know if you head to Toledo; I'll take you down the hill to Betty's Place for a celebratory burger.

    Thanks Eric. LOTS of credit goes to those on this forum who shared their insight. Never could have done this without it. Gonna hold you to the burger. I'll buy the beer.

    Sure do. Guess that's the next adventure. Zero tail wheel time. Have a local option in a Luscombe and another offer from one who has Kitfox hours to help me with the transition.

    Thanks all!! It's nice to know it's good to go but in the same breath - I kind of miss building. Guess I"ll have to do some 'updates' or something. Do want to install the yaw damper still and do an alignment check - just to be sure.
