Thanks again, Dave. I don't think it'll be too long now, but you're reading that from a guy who thought he'd be flying this airplane 4 years ago. Other things in life REALLY got in the way! It will be a very good day for me. I believe I've expressed this before on this forum, but the first test flight of my first homebuilt, 27 years ago, was the most exciting accomplishment as a pilot in my life... much more so than my first solo. I earned my Private in 2 months in 1974, and test flew the Thorp in 1990, after 15 years of building. A lot more blood, sweat and tears went into that airplane... it was very emotional, and I think of that when I read of others accomplishing their first flights.
