Speaking of the DLE 20, the rebuild of my Rev 70 \ DLE 20 is on hold as I attend to other plane projects. Kind of frustrating seeing that brand new Revolver box sitting there, all alone. I'm almost done getting this used Ace Extra 230 (87") with FLT 45 ready to fly. Started the engine last night (in my kitchen!) and it sounds pretty powerful, so I'm psyched. Then I want to get this used Hangar 9 P51 Mustang (80") \ Evolution GT 35 flyable - beautiful plane! But I'm having some problems with the retracts now. Online comments say to ditch the stock retracts, but replacements cost about $300! The guy I bought this plane from seemed trustworthy, so I'm thinking I'll get the stock retracts working first. Also just received my new Tote Wingbag for the P51's wing (it's a once-piece - which, at 80", is awkward). So at least now the wing is protected.

I'm also rebuilding a Rev 59 \ OS 70 4s. On top of all this rebuilding I'm moving to a new apt in a month. Fortunately, this move enabled me (and my son) to join another good flying club that has a very nice field. After the move I'll be able to turn my attention back to the Rev 70 rebuild.
