After three years and four months, my RV-9A is deemed airworthy by Vern Darley, a fellow RV'er and DAR.
Now to get busy putting her back together and preparing for first flight.

Boy that's a big day!
For me, once I had the pink slip in hand and the inspection covers / interior installed the butterflies really hit. In my mind it really did switch from being a project to an airplane at that time. It was so weird to realize that I could actually climb into this thing I built in my garage, start the engine, and fly it.
Enjoy.

Thanks Guys,
I really owe a lot to all of you here on RB. Special thanks to Spike (Patty)for the great resource.
Guy, you are right about the butterflys... I'm taking a few days to clear my head before the first flight. Heading down to SnF tomorrow. Expect the first flight report on or around the 1st of May.
