I have the endorsement, but only got about five hours practice before the Savage Cub the school leased got sold. Doh! 

[sfGnome]

Big day! Well done. 👍 

[Blueadventures]

How good is that, Congrats and well done to you.

[Moneybox]

I'm envious. I didn't even have to build mine, only fix it and I'm still running behind. The adventure begins 🙃

[Marty_d]

Good on you!  Inspirational.

 

[skippydiesel]

Yeah! Great job. 

 

If anything like my Sonex, you will now spend the next  (?) months optimising many of the systems😈

Nope. I'm tired of working on it. If it's safe, I'm flying it as is 😄

Congratulations on having the determination and persistence to see the build through to completion. That's an uncommon trait that will ensure success in all that you do. ㊗️

Aspirational my friend - when you find it flies with a bit of yaw, or there will be less vibration if you do a dynamic prop balance, there is an annoying noise/draft, etc etc, I guarantee you will scratch that itch😈

Nice looking aircraft 

[facthunter]

Did you toe the wheels out a bit? I'd go along with that. Nev

[sfGnome]

Neat looking paint job!

[onetrack]

You're looking as flash as a rat with a gold tooth, mate! - Congratulations! - an achievement to be proud of. 👍

[Red]

Awesome, you should be very proud of that Danny

[T510]

Looks great, did you paint it yourself?

Fibreglass parts were painted at the factory - 2018 Mustang Gold. The fabric is just black and white, again from the factory. And I added the vinyl checkers and flames and rego numbers 🙂

Damn you. Now I'm thinking about wig wag lights and painting the undercarriage

I was having some lessons and a lot of fun with Dave in the cub, I came in to land and his left foot shoe got jammed around the rudder pedal. We were heading for the fence, Dave swearing away, ended up ground looping in time, no damage, but Dave took of his shoes and chucked them over the fence. We then lay on the ground just laughing like crazy. RIP Dave.
