Congrats Dale! He writes:

The first flight of N741WS took place on October 15, 2024. Lou Landucci did the honors of the first flight at Fairweather Field (TX42). All went well. Under the “Additional Pilot Program”, Lou has also acted as the Qualified Pilot and Dale Smith has flown as the Builder Pilot to accompany him. Dale’s first solo flight was January 11, 2025. N741WS wants to climb and go fast. What a great experience to build and then fly your own plane.

The project utilized quick build wings and fuselage and took a mere took 11 1/2 years to complete (quick build 😂).
