I glued the wing and stab in tonight. Tomorrow night it will be make nose ring , top and bottom formers. It's all down hill from here!!

I got the engine mounted and the pipe tunnel in. I ran into a problems and had to strighten them out before I could go any farther. All is well now. Push rods and control horns are in. It weighs a whopping 15 oz. Thats about 4 oz lighter than the first T-Bolt at this stage. Guess I'm going to have to call Loan Star for another order of 3/8 to get some real good flap wood.

I will post photo's later if there's any noticeable change in the airframe.

I can tell you this I am only 1 week away from covering. If the tide don't rise and the roof don't cave in..

Here a some shots of pipe tunnel floor and my new PA65.

hey thanks for all the time you put in your post i look for it everyday to see whats new.

I'm looking forward to reading about how you do at the Nats this year...

I find these posts alarmingly motivational. After seeing what sparky can do, I found myself doing a four hour building session last night-something unheard of for me. At this rate, my new Time Machine may actually be done by Superbowl weekend.

Recently, football has been my biggest enemy of building. I need to get a TV in my shop.....

Come down one Friday and I'll treat you to dinner, and you'll leave with a USA-1 framed up Sunday afternoon. Ask Kirk. And you'll have a good plane.

Happy Holidays, good Buddy!

sounds like a longhand way to say the screamin' -----!

Hope you feel better !

Bill,

You get no sympathy from me this week. I'm on anti-biotics and a bunch of other nonsense for pneumonia. Thought I just had a sinus infection but when I started to have some trouble breathing, I went to the doc. After he lambasted me for being an idiot (for waiting so long to come in) he ran a bunch of tests that confirmed my idiocy and sent me off with a pile of scripts.

Sigh... Wish I could have stayed home today too.

I'll live...apparently.

Randy,

Can we play "Who's the bigger idiot?"
Same senario, sinuses, to pneumonia.
Just don't pull my trick and get back too soon. Had a recurrance of the pneumonia.
Soooooooo.... more antibiotics!
Take care.... no I relly mean TAKE CARE!

Bill,

Back at work again today. I feel OK and still have about 4 days of anti-botics to go (my stomach is just loving this). Glad it's the weekend.
