Fantastic! And Congratulations, if you get a chance and have the time I would like to know more about your trip into Mexico. I have friends who live in Ajicic which is right next to lake Chapala, can you give me a heads up on the planning etc.

Hello Suzie!
Yes it must indeed be an incredible feeling to take-off ands land for the first time in your own homebuilt aircraft!!! I'm the building process myself....slowly but surely -:)
With you standing close next to the plane...gives a great perspective as too how big the 801 is compared to the 750 and 701. You have a beautiful airplane... enjoy it!
