Jonathan,
That is one of the best blogs I've seen on a restoration. The airplane looks great. Keep up the great work. Thanks for posting this.

Nice job so far! So many people do not realize how complicated these things are. Now add two more wings to the mix and you know what a Waco Cabin is like to restore!

Hey, that's great! Nice to see a F-24 coming back to life.

Have you seen the thread I've been running on this site? We're not as ambitious as you, and haven't done a complete tear-down, but we can certainly admire what you're accomplishing.

Flown one?

Thanks for all the kind words. I am looking forward to start plugging everything together. I did have an opportunity to fly a 24 two years ago at Sentimental Journey in Lock Haven PA. I was very impressed on how well it flew.
