I think I'll go cry in a beer or three... 

 I understand, any excuse for beer  :-)  

FWIW, I predict that Rich will have more hours on it in the first month, than I have in two years.  He's more than qualified to have done this whole project himself, and he's already hot on fixing some of the never ending issues.  He even used the P word (paint!) :-)  

Here's a riddle- How do you get one of Rusty's planes to Tracy's fly in?  You wait until he sells it, then the new owner will bring it :-)

I think Rich signed on the list this morning, and he hopes to have the RV-3 at the roundup, weather permitting.  I'll likely be in Cleveland during that time, so it's not likely I'll make it.  

I haven't really had time to miss it too much yet.  I think I'm too excited about what to build after the Slingshot.  Lot's of options...
