Not much progress to see in the last few days. I've been spending time fitting control horns and other tedious projects until I get the Hysol.
Tony called Chief last week and they were sending everything that was backordered except the White Rose tail wheel carbon spring which was still not there. The tracking said it should be there Monday (today). Saturday his wife calls him at work and tells him there is an order there from Chief. When he gets home and opens it, it's a tail wheel spring and nothing else. The tracking number he had still said delivery on Monday so the tail wheel spring came out of nowhere.
He brought me the tail wheel spring yesterday, and I can't say I'm sure it's really a White Rose part. It doesn't match all the listed dimensions, but it will work. I'm still hoping the Hysol and the rest will show up today, but at this point I'm not convinced anything is actually coming.
