Great job. I remember the awesome feeling when I first flew my RV, now I’m hoping to join you with the thrill of the first flight of my Bearhawk. Moose Creek, Sulphur Creek and the like await!

Thanks everyone! It was pretty thrilling to take it up. Only did a few circles before I had to bring it down due to the oil leak. We got the leak fixed yesterday. Hopefully I’ll get a chance to fly it Tuesday and will have something to report.
