OK, here's my excuse: got side-tracked again on some other projects; and decided to put the Cobra aside to be finished this winter. Well, that's my story and I'm sticking to it! Actually, every time I walk by it I feel guilty for letting it just sit there.

It was difficult to find this thread to see how things are coming along with everybody else. Have you all been side-tracked too? Is anybody presently working on this beautiful bird? If you are, it would be nice to hear from you and see some pix if you have them. I really need a swift kick to get jump started again; and some words from you builders would certainly help.

The engine awaits some real flying time I promised it a long time ago. Just before retiring the Cobra to the "to do" room, I weighed it (forgot what it was), but realized I'm up to my old tricks of building too HEAVY! I will go back and see if I can lighten it up here and there. I have a very bad habit of reinforcing everything! And I can't seem to remember the old adage: "Build 'em to fly, not to crash"!

Well, that's all folks! Hope to hear from you.

Steve
