With the blessing of the local DAR my 5yr, 2 months and 1 day, 25,500  

rivet  project has been transformed into an airplane.  I got my  

airworthiness certificate tonight.  The first flight will have to be  

postponed due to some  bad weather in TX last week-- I was unable to  

get my transition training done with Alex due to IFR conditions with  

100-200 foot ceilings the whole time while I was there.  I am  

rescheduled for the 30th and 31rst so there could be a potential  

first flight on New Year's day.



I was lucky to get a 50 nautical mile test radius (we are very rural)  

and a 25 hour Phase 1 period even though I have a Mattituck TMX-540.   

I did not ask if he made a mistake on the testing hours.  The only  

problems noted were no witness holes in the flap and engine control   

rod ends and the wires to the elevator trim servo were looser than he  

liked.



I got what I wanted for Christmas and New Year's is looking good.   

I've included a picture of the new born.

Sheldon, that's fantastic!  10nm more of a radius and you could

make it to KLUM!  I'll have to meet you in the air when you're

doing some of your test flights.

Congratulations.  I am sorry I couldn't make it up there while I was in MN.

The weather sucked.  Have fun flying off the hours then head south and visit

us.  It is much warmer here.

Sheldon :



Happy birthday!   You should be one proud papa.  I took transition 

training with Alex earlier this summer.  He did a great job of showing 

me how to handle the 10.  You will be glad you took the time to undergo 

the training.  For me, I was driving a 152 before getting into my 10. 



I love your paint job.  10+ on style points and she hasn't even left the 

ground.  



Dr Fred.

Hi Sheldon,



CONGRAT's and WELL DONE!  I know it's been a long road for you, but the

plane turned out really nice.  Hopefully our weather will co-operate one of

these days and you can come down so I can see it!



Anyway, again - excellent!



Cheers,

Stein

Bill,



Since you asked to see a pic of my plane, here it is.  First flight  

should be around New Year's day.  Gotta get that transition training  

done first.
