 Today, June 26, 2004 at approximately 8:00 am, Phil Hildebrand's C-GSPH
 lifted off into the wild blue yonder after 2 years of hard work.
 
 The flight went great with only a few minor issues
 
 In total today, we logged 5 flights with about 2 hours of flight time.
 
 There are photos of the first flight in our photo gallery and on our
 website.  I will have a video posted soon.

 We didn't think we would ever stop sanding.

Excellent news, congratulations!  Please keep us apprised of your flight testing results.  Beautiful airplane, the sanding (and everything else) was obviously well worth the effort.  Enjoy!!!!    <Marv>
