Well, I'm sad to report that I won't be going, as I have just sold the
CheckerBird earlier this week and I am now planeless.

After 4 years and nearly 500 hours later, I figured it's time for a
change. I'd like to start building my own airplane now, probably an
RV-7 or RV-8, haven't decided for certain on which model.

The CheckerBird is now in the hands of a brand new, young and eager
pre-solo student pilot who hopefully will be able to quickly learn to
become a safe and skillful pilot in her and get a few hundred hours
under his belt and then pass her on down the line someday to the next
new pilot to repeat the cycle again.
