I'm finished with the plane! I still have to go through a condition inspection before the FAA inspector comes to look at it, but other than fitting one switch and sticking the numbers on, the plane is essentially finished.
The plane is not painted, and I will have some things to do, such as add the gear leg fairings and wheel fairings, but those are pretty much cosmetic.
I have 1.2 hrs taxi and test time on the ground, and next weekend I'm going back to Crossville, TN for the Sonex fly-in so I can get a bit of flying time in a plane like mine.
After the inspection, I will be a test pilot.
I've been dreaming of this for decades. Sometimes I can't sleep because I'm too exited.
