Learjet is ready!!! The cowl is not in the best shape. As it sits it is 8lbs 3oz. Will probably have to add about a few more oz on the tail once I can find a new cowl.

Running a OS .46AX…

Field I am flying out of has a 400ft runway so should have plenty of runway. Might wait for a cooler day 😊.

17 years after I first started this thread I have completed the build. Just need to balance it. It’s pretty nose heavy.

LOL, I have an airplane that has been sitting on the back of my work bench/table for 17 years also.
