True words about what happens after buying a "used" plane. I've only done that once. Man, there was so much to change out. Not to mention the time expended in updating it to my liking.
Thanks for the humorous remark about "holding my stick". I had to scroll up to see how I was posing. That brought a laugh. I was 50 when I took that picture.
Keep up the good work. The Bonanza photos make it look like a full-scale plane is being worked on.
Lupe, the fuel line that I like to use is made by
Sullivan and it's called
ProFlex. Tygon fuel line hardens and requires yearly replacement, especially the clunk line in the tank. Switching over to ProFlex has eliminated the need to replace clunk lines that aren't flexible. The down side is that it is pricey! If you chose to use it be aware that it comes in two sizes so make sure to purchase the larger line when using on gas engines.

With the Stick nearly completed, work can resume on the Bonanza. The photos really don't do any justice to how the wing has come out. The scale details added thus far has made it appear very realistic in appearance.
