Hey one and all,

Hello again in this new year. I received my second Simla kit a week ago last Tuesday. I managed to open the box and check out the lumber and hardware.That, however, is as far as I have gotten. The future will see it becoming a 96'er with all the light weight tricks I can come up with, but for now I have Simla number four(?) to finish as well as several projects for club members to finish. I had plans to get some paint on my first Simla the last week of 2011, but due to a busy week of relearning to fly and especially land, I was unable to accomplish that task. The good news for me at least is that my instructor says I'm ready to solo and start flying on my own. The hope is that with alot of simulator time and practice in the real world I'll be ready when the Simla maiden comes about. Busy, busy,busy.................
