Nope. Played with it a while, which seemed to really piss it off. :lol: After a few minutes, I just kinda pushed him under my drop tank so that I could get back to work on the airplane. I reckon he just went back outside to eat bugs, small children, or whatever.

While tinkering with more of the fuselage covering project this morning, I found a new friend (look on the ground, by the aft end of the fuselage)......
Looks like your choice in friends is improving! :lol:

Gary,


How does Air Tech compare with Stitts cost wise? I'm recovering my Hatz right now and am amazed at the cost difference from the 80's. I know that was a long time ago but dang its expensive.

Supposedly cheaper, but frankly, I don't know......I've never had any interest in covering anything of my own with anything besides Air Tech.

Sorry y'all, I'm waaaay behind on updates here. My computer went FUBAR and I'm just now catching up with things. There is some pretty big news in regards to my racing this year, so stay tuned for the next update.

John, I was told my engine will be shipped to me this week.

If it's the news you talked about at PRS I will be very pleased!

Thanks for this thread, Gary...
