Cfreak..from what I understand in comments here, that she was just out
of the paint shop....the paint was still curing and did not fly as a result.

I have heard from an old friend of mine that flys with the LSFM, that the value that is required for the aircraft to be insured for is very high therefore making the insurance cost & aviability an isssue at this time. As I understand it, don't look for the airplane to be flown. I have seen some photos taken during the flight from the paint shop, & the aircraft is absolutely beautiful! Too bad she won't be flown. Congrats to all involved in the restoration---good job!
Best Regards

I have her listed as airworthy for now, if she goes on static display I will change it's status.
