What did Santa bring?
I thought this was really cool, especially as she hasn't been 'doing glass' for very long.

If only it didn't have that pesky nosewheel, it's be much easier to make...

Nose wheel VS tail wheel
Nah, the tail dragger's wheel is much smaller so is more difficult to make in glass. Being much smaller, it's way easier to break a tail dragger RV... but we all knew that 
This settles the whole argument; nose wheels are better

Trying to get back on topic...
Well, Santa didn't bring me the winning lotto ticket. I guess I'll still have to work for the Army and go where they send me (which means I don't get to start building yet).
HOWEVER, he did bring me a copy of 16R and a Lowrance AIRMAP 1000. Got to test the AM1000 on a trip to COOPERS BBQ yesterday, and it was awesome. Of course renting a "spam can" to get there sucked with the winds aloft. 100kts over the ground into a 20 knt headwind. To add insult to injury, there were 2 RVs (N444TX...nice work! & N2698F) on the ramp when I got there. Gee...I bet they get a little better than 100 over the ground.
Oh well...one of these days when I have more time available...
Happy New Year to all
-Greg

Santa brought me some new Sharpie pens (if I ever go inverted, I'm pretty sure I will be showered with old Sharpie pens) , a copy of the '05 Oshkosh DVD, and a Craftsman Laser Trak outfit which will come in handy at wing mating and empennage mating time.

My wife is the BEST!
She gave me a spin on filter adapter, complements of Mattituck (Thanks Malon), for my O-290-D2 and a DVD of "Those Daring Young Men and Their Flying Machines", and some other stuff.
Her father gave me a set of stubby wrenches, a wire crimper, and another toolbox.
I hope all of you had a great Christmas and an even better New Year!
