Looking good !

I can’t see for sure, you probably already have a prevent…. but careful when pushing on the wing root moving the portable wing stand around, those wings can slip right off and damage the leading edge…. A hardware store quality bolt stuck down through the main spar will prevent this…

Not sure, but I know who you're talking about. He supplied our IO360!

As I recall, the hangar was a couple three doors north of Bob Mills, end of the row.

Yup, the guy I'm sharing the hangar with just finished a really nice 7A. Should be coming back from paint any day.

Different hangar than the one you're thinking of Mike. This one is about 8 rows closer to the RARA hangar. Nice hangar, and a nice hangar mate...another one of the gang. Landfill's (Sig's) new roomate just brought his RV-7A home from paint, and it is beautiful. The 8's and the Bearhawk are still next door to me.

Sig, got your PM, and will look for you Dad. Have him give me a call when he's here! Stay safe, and see you in November if you get some leave!

Cheers,
Bob
