And what an experience it was, (great and flawless flight.) It is the taildragger version that makes you want to just keep looking at. It took a month to get it to the Airport because I had to still build a trailer after it was signed off. I just completed the first annual and to decarbonize the pistons and rings so while it was down I also ported and polished the jugs. Almost forgot to say what blast it is to fly.
