After 11 1/2 years of part time building, 2 moves and 2 job changes, plans built Sonex 612 with AeroVee took to the air today at 7:40 CDT. It was all I could hope for. Slight tweeking needed, but nothing major. Oh what a feeling!!

If there aren't any pictures, then it didn't happen... ;) Seriously, congratulations on your perseverance as much as your first flight!

Congratulations - very awesome. Well done fellow 600 series-er (I am not worthy, I was not scratch built!)
