I believe it is currently at John Muszala's place in Idaho having some finishing touches put on it before delivery. He was the one doing the flying on it this summer and the one who picked it up from Victoria Air Maintenance.

A "reliable source" indicates that the Tigercat is in the hanger at Paine, just awaiting the pilot getting checked out in it...

I think the pilot is better prepared for his checkout now.
