Hey Sleepy,

You're not looking so good, bro, maybe you better call it a day and get home and recover.

That's good to know - I knew that Mike knew better than to use iron on film in there!

Well I'm off on a business trip in 10 minutes.
Be home LATE tonight/tomorrow morning.
JUST in time to get the boxes of gear I need to really get this build moving!
So tomorrow night expect to see some major progress on this plane.
Believe me.. I wish I could just work on this TONIGHT!!
Oh well, such is the life of being employed! (or as some say.. a Biatch to the MAN!)

I cant wait to se you finish this one Sleepy. Should be a good thread. BTW, did you give up or sell the Dalton???? I am kinda shocked to see you doing this. Non the less, should be a great build. Looks like it's a real nice ARF.

Th Dalton will be finished in amazing Detail. The Ohio Flying season caught me right as the tedious , and "don't rush this" parts of the build hit. So instead of rushing through the end of the build and having a "ok" plane I put it aside and flew. So in a few months when the weather starts to chill I will resume the build and make the Dalton the best plane it can be. It was never meant to b a rush job, I said from the start that I wanted to learn as much as possible and do it right, and so far that is what I have done. So It will finish, and it will be VERY NICE!

BUT... a plane that can be ready to go in just a few days... that fits into the short Ohio flying season... meaning.... hopefully all my boxes show up today, and tonight I BUILD!!

I believe this question was asked before and Mike stated that the plane was designed around a 100-116cc class engine. I'm sure someone will end up trying the combination and I hope that they share their findings.
