Ok Guys, you have worked hard and traveled far to realize this day, so have a very safe and successful maiden flight, and I will talk to you when the day is done.

Mr Sawyer, did you ever think that this day would actually come, the day that your beast would get into the air?

What a great day!!

We've all been looking forward to this day for a long time. For me, it's been since I saw her at the 2002 TOC.

Good luck today!

When I first finished the Staudacher, the thought of the maiden flight was in my every thought, but after a few attempts with politics, attorney's and a business partner always getting in the way, that dream with years became a very distant goal to achieve for me. I think that is why I gave the aiplane away in the first place. So as you can imagine, I thought this day would never come.

Bob
