Pat, Nice job on paying it forward.

Phil Glad to hear your about again. So I shouldn't be asking Dave to maiden the Corsair?

Blisters you win the award for most dedicated flier. At least as far as weather goes.

Lots of rain here. Corsair is waiting on a motor to show, so did some other builds. To warm up I built another SS. Old fart moment or as Tim will now call them "an AARP moment", on the CG machine and couldn't figure out how to adjust for tail heavy. DUH!!! move the wing back!!!!.

Added guns to the P40. Tricky, used wooden plugs for hiding screw holes with brass tubes for the guns. Just drilled into the LE of the wing and epoxied them in. Actually looks pretty good.

And lastly, I built Lou's B17. Dang it Lou where's the electronics? It's all together and ready to go otherwise. Only ran into one problem on it and in looking at mine it's the same. The right wing was never drilled or had the nuts installed to mount the motors/cowls.

I used the left wing to lay out the locations, and will attemp to use a wiggle wire to feed the nuts in place, when the motors and such arrive.

Dentist appointment today, SS in back of van, supposed to stop raining this afternoon.
One way or another something is flying today.
