Hey Guys,

Just wanted to say hello. I built an early RV-8 (I had plans #1125 and I think mine was #203 to fly) from a standard kit, beginning in December 1999 with a first flight in May 2002. Flew it for about 2.5 years and then sold it. I miss that plane every day! The obligatory pic:

I started on a Model 12 Pitts in 2003 and completed most of the wing woodworking, but wound up selling that, too. Since then, I've done a motorcycle restoration and am currently finishing up (first engine start within the next week or two) an Ultima GTR. Once that's done, I'm giving serious thought to another aviation adventure.

Anyway, hello! :)

Ken
