Quite sure you all believed I would never do this, but it is all checked out, preflighted, assembled, in the van, wx is okay, and I'm off to the FF with the ST2300-Excelleron.

If it stays together, I'll post a note back. If it doesn't, I'll try to figure out what happened, THEN post a note.

I'm pretty optimistic; it's a great airplane, already flown, trimmed, now just the new powerplant.
