Nice to see that Kermit flew it yesterday.

Still didn't fix that hanging left main wheel though.

Should go to the printers by the end of this week, so end of the month before it floats your way (hope you are keeping your feet dry!)

Cheers for that Dave, look forward to it. We are not too bad where I live, but some are getting it pretty bad with their houses flooded out, and some of these since before Xmas.

I have been to San Isidro Air Base recently and I have seen the Curtiss that they have there.

Although not flown it is restored and kept indoors.

If I can find a photo of it from the last time I was there I will post it.

It does exist and looks great!

Kermit posted on his facebook page that the left main has been repaired since the first flight.
