Take note on what I said about the belly pan sheeting

 

[Charles]

Managed to finish belly pan and put on the first glass coat even though i am slam dunked this and next month compleating 90 hrs required real estate courses while keeping my bussiness going. Nothing for a stepper.

I also got about an hour on the RCV .90 engine in it's test stand 2 tanks and it finally smoothed out and started running smooth and broke in good so it is ready to install in the plane. Not bad for an old hurricane motor. I got prop RPM at 5500 with 2-1 makes engine RPM 11000 at full throtle and got the prop speed down to 1100 at idle or 2200 engine RPM at idle
