Any progress, anyone ?
Yes and No. I have been EXTREMELY busy and non-focused on the Hog. I had a couple of "projects" that I had to complete before wrapping up the Hog. One of those projects was the Lanier Stinger 40. I bought this when Tower had their "fire sale" earlier this year on the Lanier product line. Here are some pics of the final result.
BTW, I absolutely despise the amount of time and effort it takes to setup fuel tanks, engine mounting, radio installation, etc. I call these the "hidden" tasks when getting a plane completed. These tasks always seem to take me 3-4 times longer than I mentally prepared myself for ... the plane appears to be done but its not. [:@] I am sure this is more my anal-retentive building practices, but it kills me. This is the main reason I've not continued the Hog. Believe me, every time I go to the shop I have her calling to me!
I have one additional plane to mount the engine, radio, control surfaces, and fuel tank before I return to the Hog. Sorry guys!
