I need two complete sets of trusses (R/L) and two engine mounts. If anyone has or knows of any, please let me know. Morris has located a few but the guys who have them seem to think they're made out of platinum or have the Wright Bros. autograph on them..... Please call me or email me off list. BTW, my project CJ-6 that I've spent the last 3 years, 6 months, and 23 days restoring took to the air for the first time a few days ago. It was quite a feeling to get her in the air after waiting that long. The engine didn't quit, the wings stayed on, and there was no smoke in the cockpit for the entire 37 minutes of the flight. There's the usual squawk list that accompanies a plane flying for the first time, but at least I have *a* flying airplane now. I just hope 680E doesn't take that long....
