Long arms. (enough with the monkey jokes...)

Widget,

It was only midnight:25 at home, but you're right, I'm a PM "Herb Time" flyer, so that's pretty typical. I was also winding down from a day of pre-race wrenching (why am I putting on a new tail and a new prop weeks before the races...) and planning an upcoming Raven formation gig with Slick. Little down time before calling it a day. Doing it again now!

The teaser has us all pumped up! We're proud of you guys...I've got to get to a show to see it up close! Fly safe and have fun!

Cheers,
Nasty

Great stuff Ron,
You guys are awsome. I will see you at Winston-Salem next weekend. I have worked the airshow for 18 years there as part of the ground handling team in the "Hot Box". Was too busy last year to come introduce myself. Len was at my house way back when he was building his 8A, and I was about half way done with my -4. See you guys next weekend !
