Thank you Tom and Bob for the compliments. I’ve been building models for the past 65 years so it's about time that I did things right. I never would have got this far if it wasn't somebody there helping me so I don't mind helping out myself.

I inserted the shafts into the struts after everything dried and located the position of the stuffing box. An assortment of tools was used to cut through the two layers of 1/16 basswood strips and five ounce epoxy soaked cloth. The combination was very hard to get through. Three more frames had to be cut for the stuffing box. It looks like another one will have to be almost totally removed for the motors and motor mounts.

Tom, I'll be at the lake tomorrow around ten to give the 2.4 setup a test run. I'll be there for a short time just to get two runs in. I may have a yellow 79 Oldsmobile with me this time. Dan.
