Well, first I want to thank all those folks here at The Universe that helped in this build. It was a long winter build. I gained so much information watching the numerous posts on this plane. This was my first build and with some much needed help from Dad I think it was a success. After flying my trainer this spring I was finally ready to maiden tonight. It was certainly an awesome experience. And yes I was shakin' a bunch. What a great plane!
