    YAHOOOO!!! N68868 received it's airworthiness inspection today and now has it's approved wings. Four years and seven months after start (seems like only yesterday). Now comes the prep to move it to the airport (it was inspected at it's build location at my home) and commence check outs and first flights.

    Happy new legal Kitfox day Dick. Congrats. We knew you could do it.

    Make sure you also pursue the Repairman's Certificate right away. You'll be surprised how fast a year will go by once you're flying.

    Best of luck with phase one.

    Having recently done the same, I think I know the feeling. I tend to stress out on everything FAA. Great to have that part in the rear view mirror. Keep us posted on the fun part.

    Thanks everyone for the good words. DF4, I won't need the repairman since I've been an A&P for 30 + years.
