Geoff,

Not at this time. I've been busy at work (again) and haven't gotten up to the shop, other than for maintenance/repair, for a couple of months. I'm planning on getting back to it in a couple of weeks.

First on the "to do" list is to bolt the wings on with the main gear, and figure out exactly where to mount the Ripmax nose gear. As I mentioned above, the Ripmax nose gear is *very* different than the Mick Reeves nose gear so the nose gear mount and associated formers will have to be extensively modified...

More in 3 or 4 weeks, hopefully...

Bob
