Chad, I'm a little late to this party, but congratulations. I know you have built a great airplane. You put a lot of hard work into it, enjoy it!

Hi all, hope everyone is doing well. I got an email today from the two brothers that bought my RV7-A kit. She's flying and all looks good. Had a few minor squawks but nothing major. I'm sure glad someone got the kit that finished finished her up and got her flying. I don't know a lot of details but ...

Jim,

I don't check in here all that often any more, but am sorry to hear of your health issue. Glad to hear that things are looking up though.

My wife and I will pray for your continued improvement.

Wow! Great job Chad! Here is hoping you have a great first flight and safe uneventful Phase 1 test period. You have done a great job.

You have came a long ways since Karla and I stopped by and visited your project when it was in your garage.

Have fun and be safe!

Nice job Guy! Your plane looks great. Enjoy it and fly safe.

Merry Christmas to all from Iowa also.

Dave, sorry to hear the news about Duncan. I'm sure your family will miss him but they will also have memories of him the rest of there lives. I know I still remember my dogs from when I was a kid and that was a long time ago.

the blush rises to the surface then you peel it off??? ive been wrong before.

Correct. Peel ply is wonderful stuff.

Glad to hear that you were able to work out the details and get an engine. That has to be exciting.

That engine looks great Chad. Nice job.

A side note about the Waco I rode in. The owner/pilot was on his way back to Florida, once Fay gets outta there, from a trip up to Alaska. Said he had over 120 hrs of flying, so far, during the trip!!! Whoa! That would be a lot of fun but I'd hate to see the fuel bill. I hear Blakesburg is THE plac...

That is a gorgeous airplane! I'm hoping to be able to make it to the Blakesburg fly-in over Labor Day weekend. I really enjoy looking over all of the antique planes, they are amazing.

Wow PK, those look great. Pretty humbling to realize they were all built from scratch. Makes deburring and fluting seem like a cake walk. Keep us updated.

That is one sweet looking dinosaur burner. Good job.

Chad, that looks really nice! I like the color combination and the matching stick boots.

Hmmm, Cleveland, seems he said something about a new acquaintance there.

He thought he would stop and spend the night here on his way back through from Sturgis. I haven't heard anything from him. Maybe the Harley boys strung him and his Suzuki up!

Looks good Scott. Enjoy it til someone decides they want her worse than you do.

Welcome Jerry!

Looks like your making great progress too. I think the 12 looks like a great airplane.
