I am still going to fly in white primer in case I have cooling issues, etc,
but on Saturday, January 19th at 1pm, I got my FAA airworthiness certificate.
YEAH

When I started this adventure, I thought it would take me 6 months. I talked
to a guy who took 5 years to build a Lancair 320 and laughed thinking he was
"mentally challenged."

Well, 13 years later, I have a plane that is ready to fly. However, exactly
ZERO percent was farmed out to anyone. It is a honeycomb (not foam) 320 MKII
slow slow slow build kit with shocks, big tail and long mount - and I have
every excuse in the book - job changes, moves, etc but I kept with it and now
it's ready!!

The DAR said I did a good job on the plane. It is winter in Rochester, NY
so it might be a few months till it actually flies but I'll keep you posted on
that after I tackle the lack of training issue. Yes, I know it's available
for $7000 from a company similar to Lancair in a plane similar to a 320, but
this isn't a IV-P jet prop either. Bill Rumburg has offered some flight time
in his 320 - thanks Bill !! If anyone is planning on flying into or through
Rochester, NY in the next few weeks, let me know.

I am planning on building a Lancair Legacy fast-build next. I have to build,
it's in my blood now. Only this time, I'm buying everything at once cause
it's too tempting to buy as you can afford it - to spend money on stupid stuff
- like cars, houses, food, and heat.
