Perhaps a little good news is in order ...

On that note N118LW flew for the first time this past Saturday. Could not be more pleased, she flies hands off (no roll trim required), engine purred like a "tiger" and everything else functioned as advertised. She now has 3.0 hrs on the hobbs, 22 more and off to Oshkosh.

Some pics

"Perhaps a little good news is in order ... " Now there's an understatement!! "Awesome News" is more like it. Terrific looking airplane, Lee. I see an OSH award winner.
Congratulations!!
