The repairs are complete. I hope to be able to fly it tomorrow before the blizzard gets here. Igot my new radio today(SD-10G), so it will be a true maiden flight, as the programming from the RDS-8000 didn't carry over to the new radio. The gear mount is beefed-up, as is the bottom of the fuse. It'ssheetedto give it some extra strength. Ihave to check the balance and I'll be ready to head to the field. Report tomorrow. Jim
