She's a beauty. I love the paint, but that little rubber thing hanging off that tube below the cowl just has to go...

You guys need to swing down to BMI sometime, if you want an excuse to go somewhere! We have our chapter breakfast every Saturday morning between 7 and 9, all you can eat for $4! I'm here at the FBO all day, everyday (just about anyway). There's several people here that would LOVE to see it!

BTW, I've been talking to the guys up there at Morris to get a TW endorsement...

If you can, give me a heads up when you think you'll head this way. I want to make sure I'm around. I'm usually at the breakfast, but some Saturdays, I just can't make it out there due to other "weekend chores".

Jack Holland is on here frequently as well, and he usually brings his -7 up if the weather is descent. His is a BEAUTIFUL example as well.

Can't wait to see it!

A little over 10 hours and i'll go. Mine is not the beautiful example, rather the i'd rather fly than work on fiberglass and paint example.

Cool! We have one -9 builder in our chapter that would be beside himself to see a flying -9 (great motivator for him!). I would be too! Let me know.

My cell is 309.532.4347
