It's been a long time and there are some planes flying now that I remember were in the shop when I was last here. Mainly though, I wanted to brag about the hubs I just bought from Ken Perkins. They arrived today and I am super excited and wanted to tell everyone that if they want spoker wheels and for whatever reason can't or don't want to make 'em themselves, then order a set from Ken. I'm sure by now that you all know about them, but I just wanted to thank Ken in public for helping me get my project back on track again. I'm most of the way through getting some legs under this thing and now the biggest single holdup (the hubs) has been bypassed. I hope that I can focus more time, energy and $$ to the Piet and get her in the air..... See y'all around the list! Gary Meadows Spring, TX ps: Corky, I 'bout cried when I read your post about watching your baby leave it's nest. I'm sure that it's going to a loving home. It was sure lovingly constructed!
