Looks great Bret. My thought after rolling ours over was that it sure is nice to have something that looks like an airplane.

Looks good, it seems a lot of onlookers don't really see an airplane being built until that stage, boy, if they only knew how much work you have already put in by that time. Keep it up.

My fuse has been upright for a couple of months now, and I still get passerby's asking what it is, or if it's a boat! WHAT! Whatever...

Man the look on your face says volumes! It is a pure sign of a great accomplishment and how proud you are of it!

Great job! Looks excellent! I am just about 6 months behind you...

Thanks guys for all the kind words. I think the best way to describe the feeling is something between the realization of a dream coming true and the feeling of real accomplishment.

While I realize I have a long way to go it's still pretty cool walking into the shop and just looking at it.
