Excellent Dude. Keep up the good work.

What a great bunch of builders you guys are. Fun to hang around too! Can't wait for Osh.

seeing it all put together like that, and realizing how dang huge it is, you get that 'holy crap, it's an airplane' feeling. Also, it makes all the dents and dings and creases that I agonized over much more inconspicuous!

Wow! Brings back memories. Feels great to get to that stage. The nice part is every assembly provides that same feeling of acomplishment. It is one of the things I like about this hobby.

Now, like PK said, get after those wings! :wink:

Congrats! I'm right behind you. I'm hoping to post a picture in a few days. Will be ordering wings at OSH. :)
