Beautiful!!! Looks like you guys are using stronger landing gear?

I love Sean Tucker's airshows and this plane always stands out.

Took it down to the frame, rebuilt engine, prop and all accessories along with complete new fabric and paint. We always seem to find a few tubes on the frame that need a little TLC.

Matt, if you ever do one let me know, I will get you all the detail photos that you might need. If anybody else wants them just PM me.

Matt, bought myself a hot knife and started cutting on my MEL 300

Let's just keep this one out of the cotton fields!!! I nearly pissed myself when I heard about Sean's accident so close to home. Glad that it only cost an airplane and not a great pilot/person. This one looks ready for gold! Good to see her ready for action. Very nice!
