Paul, flew The Dream (B-25) again today.
VERY aptly named!
Even got video - once I got ALF trained!
Will post when I can.
Hey Wally! Glad you got a flight in. Looking forward to seeing the video. Congrats on finally getting ALF camera qualified. It's been really breezy here the past couple of days and the only thing I've gotten to drive around is the danged John Deere.

Oh, almost forgot... I acquired another Gee Bee this week (yeah, just what I needed - I know). It's the Great Planes ARF and I got it NIB for less than two Benjamins. I think I'm going to put a Saito 1.30 twin in it. The Robart struts arrived yesterday so I'm just about ready to get started assembling.
A Gee Bee for Paul?
Say it ain't so......

Turned into a STUNNING Easter day here. The am started WAY yucky, but it all cleared by 1:00 and I spent the rest of the day wishing I had the SW ready to go.
I did run her up again, since the last flight presented a sagging engine requiring an emergency landing.
Found the exhaust to be coming loose, so I pulled the cowl and checked things out and cleaned up the attendant slime. After firmly tightening the Keleo Exhaust, I buttoned things up and put her on the charger. Next weekend is the local big bird fly-in, so she's ready to go!
