I have a whopping 9 hours on it now, flew the first time on Monday morning.  Great time to fly a new airplane, not many others were using the sky.  Had a handfull of minor squaks which are fixed now, flies straight and true and  does not have that heavy left wing like most RVs. 

 Empty weight is a little heavier than I was hoping for but 1198 with  leather seats and a complete paint job isn't too bad, weight and balance is  right on the forward edge of the cg range empty with 39 pounds on the tail  wheel.

 Every thing your mother warned you about is true, these are amazing  airplanes and a complete rip snortin hoot to fly! 

 Hope to see some of you at Arlington in a few weeks, mine is silver and  blue.

Congrats Kevin! Somebody asked me about $5 a gallon 100LL and my Rocket. I like to fly short 15 minute or less evening flights over my home/airstrip and burn a whopping 4 gallons having a complete hoot!



I told him 15 minutes flying my Rocket was the best $20 you could ever spend!

Thanks Smokey, I had a picture of your plane flying around over here, over   the San Juan islands on my desktop at work for a couple years, gave me  lots of inspiration to finish mine!
