Down to the final hours now. I would like to thank Al and Kevin at J Tec for welding up new plates on my mufflers. I had to cut them up to get them to fit in the cowl with out cutting big holes to clear the can. They are quick and did it right. Thanks again guys. Got the smoke tank, pump and battery mounted. Everything is matchboxed up (ailerons and Elevators). Fuel tank is mounted lines are run. I need to finalize the remote receivers off the Spektrum AR9100 and it will be time to put some fuel in this bad motha. Looking for a maiden in a week or two. CG is right where I want it with out having to move anything around.

Chris, you misspelled the "made in" location, it should be Rantucky.

Hey Chris,
Plane looks great. Maybe you could bring it to our giant scale 3D Aerobatic show in Kansas City. The dates are July 17, 18, 19. Saturday is a poker run. The registered pilots will have a chance to win 500.00 or more in cash. Also there will be alot of drawings for the pilots. If you have questions call or email me.
Thanks,
John Light

Will see how the summer goes John. I am hoping to ride more this summer so not sure how much traveling I am doing for flying. If I got a dollar or two in my pocket for gas maybe I will head that way.

Well got the motor test ran tonight. Finished up all the little details and started buttoning up the cowl. Will charge the batteries tomorrow and load up the trailer. Got the waiver flights scheduled for Sunday with the inspector.

Oh that. I don't know but it fits in the trailer with a yak or two. That had me concerned for a while. Didn't want to go to an event with just the Edge. Fuses down below wings up top.

You never know with me Fick. Time to finish up some other projects. I guess my T-34 first. Hope to have it done for the Nats.

What do you mean. My 18lbs T-34 with a Saito 125 won't do the Unlimited sequence? Guess I will have to go fly Scale. BTW who flies IMAC? I tried, I sucked, I moved on.
