Thanks for the photos!... and best of luck with everything else. Glad to have you back in the forum! The photos you have look great! I'm kind of collecting them (photos of the gee bee) if you have more, that would be great! I'm thinking of doing the pull pull wire system for the rudder and elevator. If anyone has some pics of that setup, it would be great.

I also purchased the Saito 180 for this plane based on a friends recommendation who flies the same setup. He also said the balance was right on with that engine. I just hope it survives my first landing! I've always thought that I could at least, re-use the motor, until I augered in the Somethin' Extra! (broken crank) But, I still have the motor on the Shoestring and it's doing great! ($45 crank repair)

Thanks again for the info!
