Default RE: B29 flies

This is the inspiration I've been looking for. I've always wanted to build a DS B-29 but didnt have any local field to fly at that had low pucker power, so its been tabled for a long time. That issue has been solved now. We lost our field a couple of months ago and managed to find another field that I call our field of dreams. We got 5 acres in the middle of 100 acres that is land locked by a few thousand acres of farm land. We've been working hot and heavy (litterally, its August) and should be ready for flight action in about a month. Will have a 600'x60' petromat runway. You can see our progress at www.gamarc.org under new field. I'm the one with the acy. torch. One of the biggest things to help was a member that is a general manager for a heavy equipment rental company. He donated, for fuel only charge, a vibrating roller and a grader. The president knew a guy that is a grader operator that is donating his time. We have been smiled upon BIG TIME.
I just happen to have 4 saito 1.20s that can be dedicated to this project. Video got to see video.
