One thing I know for sure is that it will be tip top when you get done with it. I look forward to seeing it done.

I'm dustin' this one off....

Today I moved the plane today to Meadowlake Airport, just east of Colorado Springs. I have it in a hangar and am ready to put the wings on. With that said I'm looking for a first flight sometime in September or October. Stay tuned!

Well today I finally got out to the hangar where I now have her stored. the owner showed up with her deceased husband's brother in law, the first owner of the aircraft - we talked for about a half an hour - told me he flew the airplane from Connecticut to Colorado! Anyway after they left it was getting a little late, didn't want to start anything that time consuming so I threw about a half of gallon of gas in her and fired her up!!!!

Hope to have the wings on within the next two weeks!
