All went well, airplane handles like a dream. Explored low speed handling including near stall with flaps in and out, all normal and within a few knots of Van=99s numbers. Finished up with a smooth landing to cap off a perfect experience. All equipment under the hood and behind the instrument panel performed flawlessly. Wow, is all I have to say... Video to be edited and posted later this week, photos just prior to flight.

They did a great job and everything fit great. Would definitely do it again. I gave him a couple of measurements but had all the rest. SHould have everything you need now.
