Awesome Willem!

Congratulations! Make sure to monitor your oil pressure!

Super!

You'll have to give us a little history on this bird.

Best,
Dave W.

Thanks for the pictures Willem!
I am no expert on the DVII but that one just looks 'right' if you know what I mean!
That LeRhone is wonderful you can almost hear it !
