Congratulations Luis! This is much delayed based on what you first predicted last fall! Nevertheless, I am excited to hear that your "girl" is finally fully flagged now, and is ready to fly!! My hat off to you for making her such a beautiful KR2 with modern avionics!
Please let me know the time of her maiden lift-off, and I will try best to come to Dallas to watch and video taping your first flight! Cheers!
