Damn I'm hungry
I had one from Horizon that took a little over a week and they're about 2 hours from me. The package traveled around 700 miles to get to me. It went UPS from Champaign IL. to Kansas City Mo. Than USPS to me in Illinois about 30 minutes east of St.Louis.

I did not know that packages enjoy "sight seeing" o_O. Guess I need to be more attentive to their feelings. Hope they served lunch at least to the packages in flight :happy:. :lol2:

Package was delivered today, the spare cowl look's good and so does the baffles. I do have one concern about the baffles, they were 3D printed I believe, and although they fit almost perfectly I did need to trim one corner ever so slightly. And this is where the concern come's in, the baffle I trimmed is separating in layers, I hit it with some CA but wonder if I should do a light wrap with glass. And that was about all the time I had earlier, had to get back to work elsewhere. I am going to email AJA to see what they recommend on the baffle.

Spoke with Tim at AJA about the baffle's, come to the conclusion to just wet them with CA, I do have another set coming from elsewhere.
They have been installed, fit well enough, better than nothing anyways. That is about it, been working on the shop expansion and by the time I stop for the day I am wore out, it has been very hot and very humid. But, the Laser is done, just need's an owner with the energy to take it outside...

Not doing anything tomorrow, a son's birthday gathering, I have thought maybe late evening getting a flight in off the pasture. And if I happen to feel like it, maybe, get the Laser out and fire it up. The last two days I have had the barometer's hit 100°, I have three of them scattered about that read the same, so we'll have to see what the day brings.

Yea, fit is pretty good, it is done and awaiting a ground run then the maiden.
But not today as the day brought afternoon/evening thunderstorms so I spent the evening in the shop packing things up for the 150' move. I will leave the EF Extra and the AJ Laser accessible, as well as needed items for flight, in the other shop for that nice evening when it come's around.

Four hours in and still have not finished moving everything from one half to the other. Maybe I have to much crap!!!!!
But the Laser and Extra is setting at the ramp door waiting for some fun.....

I don't know about mind blowing but here!!!
The right side, by this view, will be completed once the other shed is butted against it. Eight feet opening in the center and two sheets of drywall on the corners, a little finish mud, and some cabinets at the back side should do it. I will start transferring the lean-too's in the morning then call the shed mover....
And yes, I am so lazy as to use a winch for the ramp door!:dancing-chicken:
