    I did some of the detail paint work on this plane. I also did the artwork on 3 of the other planes Roy Rehm is building. It was such an honor and privilege to work with Roy and see what it takes to build these stunning planes. Roy's work is something to be seen.

    For most of us working class guys we are used to fresh out of the box is hoping it's a good lunch. 😁👍 I'm happy you share . Even if I can't afford what you get it's nice to see you enjoy and at least we get to live through you. It's like watching travel shows of places in Europe I've been. I see other's eat and drink. I drool a bit but can't taste it.

    Thanks for another great video Kermit. It was interesting.
    Beautiful aircraft Kermit. Very nice.
    Everyone did a great job in loading it. Got it all unloaded and in the building. Great.
    Hope to see it fly in the relatively near future. Wonderful aircraft. Thanks.

    Nobody does an unboxing like Kermit. What a cool and rare machine that 100 is!

    • @tedmoss
      @tedmoss ปีที่แล้ว +3

      A little bigger unboxing than I am used to, (8 foot wing span).

  • @goatflieg
    @goatflieg ปีที่แล้ว +20

    An amazing coincidence that driver Buddy Chapman, after this delivery, was going back out to pick up Dreadnought; an airplane with which I have a small but significant connection. "I'm actually feeling some lift!" made me laugh out loud... that must be one helluva wing. What a beautiful airplane; I've enjoyed following the restoration. Hope to see it at Sun & Fun. Also hope that you're finding time to fly between all the plates you have spinning. Thanks as always for sharing.

    So refreshing to see it roll out of the trailer, compared to when we packed it into the container bak at WAM. I can't wait to see it again at SNF!

    I had a spectacular collection of aircraft when I was a young man, one that rivaled Kermit's. Perfectly detailed to the tiniest wire scale models. 😂
    Kermit is beyond belief, not only owning or curating these aircraft, but flying them too. I can't begin to imagine the number of endorsements in his log. Alas, I will continue to live vicariously through these videos.

    Pretty airplane in the two tone green. (the light color looks like a pale greenish grey to me at the moment)(brings to mind some Seaboard Air Line passenger train diesels in 1950s painted a light minty green hue which camera film usually interpreted as white) Plane fits in trailer in a manner not overly unlike how the ten pound housecat fits in a shoebox a bit off to my left.
