We have been poking at Frenesi since time began and it's become a frustration. Dan F and I swapped Frenesi for "City of Winnipeg." Dan is going to finish it as Frenesi, and make it super sweet, and I'm redoing City of Winnipeg as Enchantress. Want to wait till after the Toronto show (Labor Day weekend) and then I'm going to strip the fuselage and again create chaos in Rich's world. We're still on a hunt for the proper Uncle Dog antennas for the backbone.

Rich has already begun to prepare Winnipeg for the politically correct Obama world by rearming it with "acceptable" weapons. Look:

Hehe, I cant wait to see you guys doing the boresighting when it's done. :)

BTW Jim, "Spitfire" was excellent on so many levels. You guys are doing a great thing with the series. Here's to hoping a network picks it up because seeing it on the internet just isn't enough. :)

Woo Hoo! I'm liking that Dan more and more! That's great for both of you, with deference to my Canadian friends who've I'm sure have been thrilled to see "City of Sunshine"...I mean "City of Winnipeg" on the scene!

Fly safe,
Rich

We did appreciate seeing the Winterpeg scheme here stateside for a while, and it is a nice gesture to leave it on until after CNE. As for Enchantress -- well, at least it's not another 8th AF scheme. :)

You'll have to come on over and do some real sheet metal work to make the Stuka thing happen.
I'm just worried about the ATF getting upset for firing projectiles from the wing.
