Getting Ready for flight

[Klimek]

Tomorrow my little bird will fledge. After 3 years, 2 months and 9 days, "OLD #90" is going to be trailered to Siloam Springs, Ar. municipal (KSAG) where the wings will
be reinstalled and a final check performed prior to the first flight. I'm going to wait till the weather cools a bit before flight tests. It has been in the upper 90's here
in northwest Arkansas, however, next week promises mid 80's and I will take advantage of lower 70's in the early am.
I have decided to fly off the first 40 hours prior to painting in the odd chance something needs to come back apart, paint scheme unknown at this time.
There have been some trials and tribulations while building and have been helped tremendously by Sonex techs, by friends "Dr" David Moore, Rick Wantz, known to
this group as "nwawingman" and ONEX builder, Rudy Polacek in Gassville, Ar. Thanks to everyone on this forum for your help. The proof will be in the pudding.

Just understand it takes about a week to knock the grin off your face! Been there done that and still grinning.

Frank,
I look forward to your first flight report. I am probably 4 to 6 months out from first flight on Onex 0153. I wll be keeping mine at the West Memphis airport (KAWM). Looks like a gathering of Onex's at Gastons will be in the future!
Have a great flight.

Frank,

Can't wait to celebrate that first flight with you! What a fantastic job you did building her and I know you will be very pleased with how she flys.

I wish you many years of great adventures. You've earned it!

The first flight is a thrill, and very satisfying.
