N888BZ, aka "Sticky Stuff" broke the surly bonds this morning.  My project was
in gestation close to 7 years.  The first flight was the most fun I ever had with
my pants on!

Sticky Stuff is an RV8-A with a Superior IO-360, Sam James cowl & pants, Aero Composite
prop, and Blue Mountain's EFIS-One. Minor tweaking will be required to
correct a heavy starboard wing and a yawing requiring slight right rudder to
center the ball.

Thanks to my wife, who supported my efforts, to Van's for designing and supporting
this beautiful machine, and to my fellow listers -- we learn from those who
go before us.

Keep the shiny side up,
