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! -------- Richard Pike Kolb MKIII N420P (420ldPoops) Kingsport, TN 3TN0 Forgiving is tough. Being forgiven is wonderful.

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.
