Congratulations Sir-I was enlisted (E-5 Navy) so just showing some respect! Been flying my Onex for over 3 years now and it is a blast to fly. Have almost everything dialed in after engine changeout and cowl work. Thanks to my hangar mate Mark for the great fiberglass work on the cowl.

Thanks Tom. I am glad my dad made the trip for the first flight.
How goes your project?

Slow but steady progress. We have been traveling a great deal. Turbo on ONEX Trigear makes firewall space a real premium and there are no plans for that. Lots of fitment challenges but I'm pretty much past that and about to start wiring. Won't make Crossville this year, we are on a cruise. Maybe next year. Tom
