Very nice! You guys are good at this video stuff. All I can do is drill & rivet.

That's what you do with your time AFTER you finish building! I'm always on the lookout for editing software. I did this video with Filmora:

It's a free download. The free version puts a watermark on the output video. But I found it so intuitive that I learned it in one evening, and so decided to pay the $50 for the registered version.

The rain shower on landing is my favorite part! You can see it's raining at the far end of the runway, and dry on the near end. In the Sonex, that was a first for me!

The only time I flew my sonex in the rain was the final 15 minutes returning from OSH in 2014. Taught me a Sonex is not that water tight!

I know that airport Mike. A good friend has a hangar and could have pulled some strings to get you in somewhere
Great video as usual!
