Hi Gang,

    Well its been 3 summers and over 1000 hrs. but N844RS made its way to the hanger today.  I have some trim work and a few minor items to finish.  Trailering went smooth.  Happy with Stewarts System products.  Enjoy the pics.

  Russ. Avid MK IV HH 582

This was not a rebuild, but built from a kit.  I have owned a Cessna 150, and a Cherokee 140, but this is my first home built.  It was fun, but as I said glad it is done.  I will be getting my tailwheel endorsement in Florida this Nov.  First flights of N844RS to be in April 2010.   Thanks for the reply.  Russ.

Congrats!! Awesome feeling isn't it? Too bad you have to wait so long to be able to fly it. Make sure you fog your engine before you let it sit through the winter unless your going to start it every few weeks.

you have a hell of alot more patience than me... I didn't wait for the FAA inspector etc.. I got it put together, had my AI buddy come look at it and she was in the air.. actually, I flew it before the AI came and looked at it :lol:  I had been involved in flying and rebuilding others so I was not worried about my work so I figured what the hell, they gonna take away my birthday???? so I loaded her up, headed for he airport and flew up a storm.

NO WAY I could wait months before seeing all that work get into the air!

Do you have any time flying a KF or Avid?
