I can't seem to reply to individual comments, so I will try to respond here:

First of all, thanks for the comments and support!

Joe, I txt regularly, and also have my phone tied in to the intercom through BT, so I occasionally also make calls.

Fred, yes, my screens are lit up brightly, somehow the camera fps gives an illusion of them being off.

Scott, my paper airplane would fly into the eyeball of someone's prize winning chicken, better keep it inside. ;)

Steven, your engine failure story is why I put the magazine down. haha

Mark, yes, I also have that fever, better get to building another one!

David, I had root beer with my pizza and moon pie.

Wayne, I only have elevator trim, once it is set, this plane flies completely hands-free and will also turn easily using only pedal (rudder) inputs. I am very lucky with how well balanced it came out!

Wow! I have never flown my plane that high? It is rare that I fly over 3000 feet AGL and I only have elevator Trim. You must have wing levellers and autopilot? I always have to hold my stick, rare that it's not turbulent or bumpy that I could trim and fly hands free and it would only be for a few seconds anyway.

Couldn't quite tell...was that an RC cola to wash down that Moon Pie?

BRAVO!!  Suffering from the "what do I do now my airplane is flying" disease.  Keep 'em coming Jon!

Great ideas !! And I was happy to see that when you showed the September edition of Sport Aviation magazine, it was the pix and article of my CH750STOL ! On second thought, you're flying along above cloud tops, reading about my Phase 1 engine failure and emergency landing.....read that scary stuff on the ground ! :-)

Let that paper airplane sail outside. No harm and it may break some record.  Lol....
