Thanks Bryan! You were right by the way, flying it gets rid of the hangar dust!

Ryan, great video. Nothing like building your own plane and having the opportunity to make the first flight. Still grinning. About the bounce been there down that. Sonex provides a
strong plane design to except our inadvertent less than perfect landings. Here's to many more fun flights.

Hi Ryan,

Congratulations! Your accomplishment and documentation are so inspiring to me! Thank you again for the generous time you gave me the prior week at your hanger answering my many questions.

Warm regards,
Paul

Congratulations Ryan,
All those years of work are so definitely worth it. I watched your YouTube video very carefully, thanks for having the courage to put it all on the video. Hopefully I will be doing my first flight next week weather permitting and hopefully as well as you did.
