I was a bad boy today. I didn't work on the Pitts because I'd made an offer on a gorgeous1/4-scale Gee Bee R2 racer, and the owner accepted! I went and brought it home, and made room for it to hang on my garage ceiling. That's temporary, until I can create a place to hang it in my office, even though it's perfectly flyable. I wrote my book AERODYNAMIC about the Gee Bees and the Granvilles, so it only seems right to have a nice representation of one around to look at.
I should be back at work on the Pitts tomorrow. I found the longer bolts and hardware I need to mount the engine with the standoffs.
