    I'm really close. Just a few punch list items left. Another guy up here has an Arion Lightning that's almost ready. We are going to try to get an inspector up here on March 16th to look at both planes. I should try to get to Idaho for some training between now and then.

    OOOhhhhh Brian, its gonna come down to the wire which of us is going to finish first. My inspection is scheduled for Mar 16th. You have made such great time with yours.
    It seems there was never a time where something wasn't being accomplished. It is looking very nice I might add.

    I'm still waiting on the FAA inspector to nail down the date. Los Alamos is kind of in the sticks, so he's hoping to do my plane and one other on the same day. The other guy found a leak in his fuel tank, so needed another week or two. Looks like March 23rd or 30th, so you'll have a jump on me there, Eddie. Not that it's a competition. I'll be at Stick and Rudder next weekend for a Kitfox refresher if the weather is good enough to fly.

    Awesome Brian, great job! Good luck on the inspection and at Stick & Rudder.

    Just finished up with the EAA Sport Air Electronics Workshop this weekend.

    I made quick work of it with a belt sander and 60 grit. Too bad we have to deal with such an obsolete and time consuming fairing method.
