well, if anyone's reading this:
the 4-40's covered, looks pretty good for the first project in several years. I'll post pics as soon as the windshield and pilot arrive. the orig windshield had a crack I couldn't fix, so I ordered a reasonable substitute from my LHS. As far as a pilot, I can't decide between a ****ted up Barbi (which I had in my original) or a Cap'n Eddy (which I found is still made by a 3rd party, but expensive). I put in the radio (new Futaba 6ch with the 2.4 GHz system...nice radio). I had surgery on my arm this week, so I can't lift anything for the next 6 weeks, no flying for me . I've also ordered the parts to get a couple of my other hangar queens in the air. Hope to be up soon.
