    Congrats Paul. I know it's been a long road to this day but from the looks of the finished product it was so well worth the effort, time and money.
    One of a kind bird.
    Spectacular aircraft worthy of that beautiful radial engine.

    Paul, I agree your plane is absolutely beautiful, but I have to know, what does the number 28 signify, the years of painting, sanding and polishing that went into getting it to look that outstanding? WOW. what a show stopper. Congratulations on a superb job.
