Kram,

Been working diligently on the Dual Ace. I took all of the recommendations about NOT flying a P-38 as my first twin to heart.

So ................ as the weather warms, the Ace is just about ready to break in the Magnum 52-4s (mounted sideways by the way), tune them, get them running reliably side by side, and then head for the field. As you can imagine the engine work that needs to be done is still rather involved ............................. well ................. maybe not for you experienced twin drivers but definitely for us beginners. [sm=52_52.gif]

Darn shame that you live a couple of hours drive out, else you would be recruited!

And as far as the P-38 goes I have been thinking on outfitting her with an on board glow driver system for insurance. I mean, why not? She already has landing gear brakes, fowler flaps, rudder gyro, aileron gyro, and a pair of really big 91 ST engines!

Ya ................ I'll probably have to put the camera down in order to fly ......... Fortunately for all of us Starla will still be taking the pictures!
