    [QUOTE=Geek;111042]FINALLY got my registration and was able to submit my air worthiness request. Been talking to the DAR and working to get the plane ready for inspection.



    Very happy to see SG getting close to the finish line.

    Today I got to change my signature from building to done. Had the DAR stop by and got my airworthiness inspection all signed off. Now all I got to do is learn how to fly a taildragger!!!

    Still stuff to do but she's legal!!

    Nice! Great job! Now to get some hours! Do you need a tail-wheel endorsement?

    Woo hoo! Well done, Gary. Your building pace has put the rest of the Washington contingent to shame. I can't wait to hear how it flies.

    Let me know if you head to Toledo; I'll take you down the hill to Betty's Place for a celebratory burger.

    Thanks Eric. LOTS of credit goes to those on this forum who shared their insight. Never could have done this without it. Gonna hold you to the burger. I'll buy the beer.

    Sure do. Guess that's the next adventure. Zero tail wheel time. Have a local option in a Luscombe and another offer from one who has Kitfox hours to help me with the transition.
