Congratulations to all involved in the project! Excellent work.

I can't want to see more pictures and videos of her flown around the country.

Cheers,

David

I did an acceptance inspection and test flight on a Maule MX-7-160 this morning. Had about 8 squawks unknown to the new owner. Can't imagine how many writeups they'll have on the B-29 in it's notebook!
