- Hi Jim, I'll be coming to Copperstate with a bunch of guys from our EAA chapter. We should arrive some time Friday morning. Can't wait to meet you and have a close look at you plane, even though it will make me feel ashamed about my own craftsmanship (or lack thereof)! See you there, Thomas

- Hi Jim, I would congratulate you on your first flight, if I weren't so steaming with envy :)
If you ever go to 10,000' or above I would love to know how the O-200 handles the altitude, since I have a rebuilt O-200 on hand. I hope you come to New mexico some time in your beautiful plane.
Cheers, Thomas

I'm building a 750. Have the tailfeathers complete, and hope to have the rear fuselage completed this weekend. You photos and comments have provided me great encouragement! Great colors! I'm a California native from Chico, and have been farming in the Williamete Valley in Oregon for the past 20 years.

Joseph F. Truncale said… - Thanks for "clean" comment, Jim.
I work at a small aerospace company, and FOD is a dirty word.
Actually, I think I'm just being respectful to the plane and the project.
Best,
Joe
