It was a good idea, it just didn't work.

"The final items that need to be done prior to the first flight will be to complete the hydraulic system, brakes, gear doors, retractions, top cowls, wing tips, fairings, and wiring for the all the Cannon plugs in the original WWII radio package in each fuselage for authenticity and wiring the hidden Garmin package for reality." - that list is excitingly short! Wow! It feels like it's all coming to a head very soon.
Some very, very cool photos in this update. What a machine. Bravo Tom and co!

"It's his plane, he spent the money to restore it, he can do with it what he wants. I will never understand what's hard to comprehend about this." - kalamazookid, 20/08/2013
"The more time you spend around warbirds the sooner you learn nothing, is simple." - JohnB, 24/02/22

And they addressed the issue of the feathered props during the engine runs; hope it gets worked out soon.
