Thanks all. It was a great day and just having made it there safely with no mishaps was a huge relief.

hahah Brandi asked the same thing about the cup - we thought we were going to end up caught in a thunderstorm on the way out to the airport so I think one of our visitors thought their cup would help to keep some rain out??

I think i see your manifold pressure (MAP) line running down then back up to the firewall.

Personally, i think it is better to run it up then down instead to prevent buildup in the line that you can't see thru.

My trap is in the clear line in the cabin instead. I can visually inspect it for blockage. Recently, i noticed some strange MAP readings. Sure enough, i had oil or fuel in the clear line.

I am curious how others have handled this issue.

What can you get done in 2 1/2 hours? Well, if you have some serious heavy lifting gear, a friend and his two young strapping sons you can get the gear on AND mount the engine









Oh, and there was a beer incentive!

Don't you love days where you make big progress in a short time? Looking awesome, Paul!

I just hit 200 hours in the last day or two, and the tail cone is in the riveting stage:

Default Incredible!
Ed,

Your progress is tremendous. I am finishing up the riveting on my tailcone now. However, what took me about 9 months to complete, you've been able to do in about 3! You are really motoring along...
