Well, it's a project no longer.
Airworthiness was Friday the 19th, First flight was .6 hours on Saturday the 20th. No real squawks. Put another 1.1 on the clock today.
I would try and elaborate about how great it was, but there's no way to put it into words. I'll post more info and link a video later....
Cheerio,
