Congrats Jeff!
Now you know what it takes to build a 'classic' RV.
Not one of those snap together prepunched units 
Now the fun begins - learning how to maintain and fly an RV.
Good luck in Phase one!

Fellow Rver's
Very pleased to report the first flight of RV6A serial number
25171 on Wednesday, April 12, 2006. Don Stewart was at the
controls. Recent flights show 173mph true airspeed with an
O320-E2D, Catto three blade, and no gear or wheel fairings.
Empty weight came in at 1016lbs with no paint or interior.
Panel includes Dynon EFIS, RMI engine monitor, Lowrance Airmap
1000 panel mounted, Icom A200 com, Narco AT150 transponder,
PMA4000 audio panel, Navaid wingleveler, LRI. Night VFR.
This has been a very pleasurable journey over 8.5 years of
building. Special thanks go to Don Stewart, Everett Anderson,
Garry Anderson, Ron Busch and all the other airport rats in
Menominee Michigan. Also big thanks to my wife for
understanding that this has been a long time dream of mine.
Regards,
Jeff Orear
