| Subject: | Firefly progress |
Since things are sort of slow on the list right now I thought I would do an update
on the Firefly.
Got the windshield on today, the muffler and prop went on last week, and the wiring
is done. David did most of the wiring; should have let him do all of it since
he is much neater and better at it than I am.
Was planing to bring the wings home today but it is just too cold. Maybe Monday.
Then start to put it all together. (Original Firestar wings, FSII wing struts,
and a FF fuselage - what a mongrel!)
Yes, I know I am using blue urethane tubing between the carb and the fuel pump.
That is so we can see if we are getting any fuel to the carb. Fortunately it
is convenient to change every year. And those are the only conditions under which
you should use that junk!

Everyone knows that a mongrel can often be better than a pure-bred ! Excellent
progress, keep plugging away... summer is coming soon :)
Yours is exactly the same Bahama Blue color as my FS2, and I removed a lot of that
same blue plastic tubing from my plane when I got it.

Dude - You gave me the front end of the cage and the engine mount tube, and you
showed me how to make the bicycle brakes. If envy was the problem you could have
just kept them!

Well Richard....very happy to see what you and your bud have
accomplished... so ...yes some envy comes into play...for I viewed the

Looking REALLY good!
What did you do to assure the screws will not come loose on the terminal
block mounted to the engine? Loctite or something?
You are going to have FUN with that plane!
