A storm tore it all to pieces a few years back. He is rebuilding it.

Have you heard anything on Kendal getting his plane in the air yet ?
Thanks, John

there was a Model 12 at Sky Manor (N84) a few weeks ago and there was mention of it being rebuilt with a new paint job but I don't know if it was the guy's original Model 12 or Kendall's with a new paint job. I didn't see it but I know the guy that worked on it and spoke with him on Sunday. I also happen to know the owner and Kendall very informally from when I was trying to break into the local IAC community but haven't spoken with either in some time.

the mystery deepens.

Sounds like Bart needs to pull the Ferrari out of the garage and play Magnum, PI.

Damn, that sucks... I didn't know that happened.

I got sidetracked with the Byrons Pitts so looks like the Hostetler Pitts will be next winter's project.

Well then this winter we can keep each other motivated and not get sidetracked

Started getting my baby ready for flying season. Had to fix a broken cabane brace wire and clean some corrosion off of hardware. Also FINALLY getting around to putting the smoke system in.

Bout time to start putting on shows with it

Yep, 35%

Started on the nuts side and had a DLE 170 in it.. It was kind of ridiculous with that power, stepped down to a DLE 120 with a Falcon 29x9w. Hoping that will give me a nice scale power plant.
