Dam that is bad news I never new hope to hear something positive soon. Please keep us informed.

I tried calling him a couple of times, with no response. Mike is correct. Kelly has had some very extreme health issues going on. I can only hope he is ok and pray for a positive outcome.

Thanks for taking the time to reach out to him. I hope and pray that he is doing well. Miss that guy on here!

Oct 25th:

@Snoopy1 @pawnshopmike and all of my GSN buddies.... Been fighting health issues and unable to participate. Know all that I miss all of you and tinkering in the shop with you all. I will try and peek in time to time but for now I will abstain until a future time. Take care everyone and know I have loved all the conversations.

To many Projects, but now the cold weather is here I will be able to get many done. I was getting out a motor for a 30cc gasser Air frame a friend gave me and I found this box LOL!!! I had forgotten about what I found written inside when I opened it sent to me by Decal Dennis.

Good times. I forgot all about that. Had too many beers since then.

Mustang restoration update...
Younger brother helping out.

Both shock towers gone.

Fab’d and installed a double din stereo cage. Dash was thrashed, so this was an easy decision.

Removing the last bits of equipment in the dash - windshield wipers and motor.

Front suspension subframe welded in.

Front suspension parts mocked up. couldn’t resist.

Father-in-law and myself shrinking some areas to remove some dents.

Filling in some holes in the dash.

Simply awesome!! Two brothers working with Dad and Father-in-law on the Mustang - PRICELESS!!

Thanks! Even better, my dad took a lot of the photos! So total family affair!

That’s gonna open up a lot of space in the engine bay not needing the shock towers anymore. Looks awesome and keep it up.

Have a question never flown big electric planes before. Just finished a Timber 110 with a an electric motor. The batteries will be 12s-5000 mAh. How do you gentlemen charge your batteries at the field. A car battery cannot handle that size batteries. Do you have generators or some sort of large power pack. Thanks for your help.

Although I do not fly that many electrics, I do have a suggestion for you. Many of the guys at the field have purchased their own personal generator. Something like the Honda 2000. However it is a grande. Harbor Freight carries a nice little 2000 watt generator. I believe it sells for around $450. A friend of mine purchased his off the internet when Home Depot had a sale. He purchased his for $203. That was including Freight and taxes. I will be looking into getting one for myself this coming year. More and more I am finding the necessity to have on hand power.
