It must be really satisfying for you and your father after so many hours of meticulous work.
So happy to have been there and capture that special moment.
Congratulations to you both!!

It's not how long it took to build that matters.
It's how long it took for the grin to stop.

Thanks for the kind words guys. Here's a couple of photos with the graphics and pilot in place. Landing gear is in place for photos only. We'll still hand launch and belly land.
