... still a long haul
Pierre -
Looking good. Congrats!!
You must be very proud - in a humble way of course.
Still seems a long way away for me.... (prosealing tanks).
I'm hoping dreams do come true.....
Keep us posted!!

Thanks........
Mornin' everybody........and thanks for the kind words. For the rest of you guys pounding rivets and fighting proseal; the trip is very, very worthwhile and before you know it, the parts bins and boxes will all be empty and you'll stand back and say, "WOW, nothing more to add!! I 'spose it's ready to fly!" and it will be. It will also be a lot sooner than you think......trust me, time does fly and you'll notice a strange phenomenon....your shirt buttons will seem somewhat tight!
