Well, I finally got to fly my plane today. I struggled since 1995. I wrestledwith the FAA (and they turned out to be great, by the way) - I've wrestled withthe wind and cold weather for over a month. I got to fly her twice this afternoon. No surprises. She flew hands off (buthow would i know, I was pretty busy hanging on!) I'll admit it's a bit overwhelming. How truly amazing - I'll repeat it - AMAZING!- to break ground in a plane you built from sticks, plywood, fabric andpieces of metal. You and your family lived every single up and down for over9 years. You worked almost every spare hour you could give up. You spent everysingle surplus dollar you had. You answered and explained and described anddefended and discussed and cussed and dreamed and did without and prayed thatthat sucker would work - someday. Over and over and over and over and over again. And it did. It did! How TRULY amazing. You guys that are still building.... DO NOT QUIT! I promise you - it's a lifealtering event. I'll post some pictures in the next few days..... Now. Get back to the shop and get TO WORK!!!! bert in Florida!________________________________________________________________________________
