Good afternoon Gentlemen,

Here are the pics I promised (if I can get them to load...). While I was playing with the plane over the weekend, I also managed to get it weighed. The plane weighs just a touch over 8.75 pounds which probably isn't bad considering how large it is. So the Rossi may not give the plane unlimited vertical performance, but for my skill level it should do just fine.

Ifinney, Thanks for the tip about the head shims, I will check for them before I fly it

I what I know, I am the fourth owner of this Dalotel. The gentleman I bought it from told me he's owned the plane for the last three years, but never flew it. He also remembered that the person who he bought it from said he flew it for a long time, but was not the original owner. I know it may be a stretch, but if any of you fella's who ever flew pattern contests at the old Fentress Air Field near Va Beach, Virginia in the early 90's may even recognize the plane and could possibly tell me who owned it, that would be AWESOME!!!!.

I am going to split up the pics into two separate posts. Enjoy.....
