From: Herb Thanks Pat My MKIII classic was all white...and my painting skills have not improved . I managed to get the left side of the Fuselage taped and painted yesterday...Hope to have the right side done by evening...but Golf is on the menu this morning... Have my airstrip mowed and at the ready...but think I should find a much longer runway for initial testing... :-) I have flown all my builds from my shorter 700 foot strip...The 1300 strip is very bumpy...a hay field esentially... Dialed in the Warp drive prop to bring the rpm's up to 6k...gonna leave it there for now..Sure wish I had a three blade IVO...much easier to dial in...and certainly smoother.. I could likely go a zig zag with two or three rum and cokes! :-) By the way...watched , as I may have said, the BBC story of the Spitfire...Wondering if there is only one two seater left in England?

From: Herb Hold the gate open...I will be there! :-) Going to trailer the Fly to Lafayette Tenn..airport...just 15 miles away... My next build, thanks to Bro. Pike and Jerry? Larry? Kingsport and Chattanooga area respectively.. (how soon we forget) :-) is a Firestar...I have the wings and tail feathers and dibs on a fuselage...447 engine in hand...plan to use a belt drive if I can manage a decent thrust line... Plan to use different landing gear also..
