Nice job Phil ..... Again!

This plane is stooge-jinxed.  Make sure you have someone hold it for launch, and not some kind of mechanical device. %^@

FlySafe and soon!  Larry (Larrys4227)

Hey, I am a recent adherent to SAD. Don't laugh.

I admire your tenacity. Most anything can be repaired. Just depends on how much work you want to put in. You did the work. Enjoy it.

Looks good, too.

It just seems easier to rebuild than to build... besides after the stupid mistake I made to cause a wreck, I figured I owed it to her... :-\

Ya, I know Eric,  I keep telling my wife we should take a ride over to your field some weekend but it never seems to happen.  If your going to the nats I'll catch you there since I'm working all week as  a pull tester.
