Well, here is the progress so far. The tail is complete, the wings are ready and the motor is mounted. This thing goes together super simple, just not enough hours in the day. If all goes well, I hope to have it ready this weekend.

Well, it fired up tonight. Hand primed, choke and 3 flips to the cough, choke off and 5 flips and she's running. Sounded pretty rich but with the help of my friends, we'll have it singing in no time. It was a good night!! ;-)

That sounds cool and I would if we weren't starting our vacation on Thursday. Maybe next time. Thanks for the invite though!
