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.
