Just checked Van's completions page and gues what? I'm done.

QB kit # 70671 flew today. Everything went very well with no squawks.

Thanks for such a great airplane.
John Roberts

Guess that is what it will look like when I finally get there.

I dropped him an email. Kind of strange seeing your name there like that, even if it is a common one.

Uh, congrats John??

I knew it felt like I slept a while last night, but jeez! I go to bed, and wake up to your finished airplane!

Hey, what year is it anyway???

I guess it went quicker than you thought it would because of those tungsten bars. I got mine today from you, and I have to say I'm impressed with the density of those little suckers.

Thanks!

I guess Van's will be publishing my completion in a week or two now...

Yep, that must be it!

Glad you got the bars okay. I'll be watching for your completion announcement!

I think the trick to finishing early is get a common name....

John Roberts is now taken... John Brown anyone???
Of course the downside is that some one else always seems to be flying your plane......

I'm a little fuzzy on the FARs -- could that be logged as PIC time anyway?
