If you camp in Scholler, they have a special area for camping with pets, and it's nice and close to the action! Jack camped there last year with Razzle. :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

Things are actually quite good. My medical expired, and hence Im grounded. The good news is that the plane has been in annual since 1/1 and so I haven't really missed anything.

Im in the process of collecting & organizing the "paperwork" to submit. The latest tests all show me as good to go, now I just have to get the paperwork in and get the nod from the FAA. But until I have it .....

...er shop, that is!

Wyatt couldn't WAIT to get back into the garage and help!

The finish kit has an amazingly LOW parts count, but a high dollar value!

The spinner looks like it should be a close match up! I am still dreaming about this deal! The Van's spinner delete cost was $123.00 and this one WITH SHIPPING was only $95! Such a DEAL!

Wicked good!

Thanks to Machine Man for delivering the kit to me this AM!

:good job: :thumbsup: CJ

Great to see the finish kit finally made it to your workshop John. I agree that for what you spend, there's not a lot in the box but a few big items.

Wyatt looks like he's a little sad about it too :mrgreen:

He doesn't like to pose. He is more of a freelance subject!

CJ that spinner looks real good. Where did you get it? Vans said my finish kit should ship around the 19th of March, ordered on the 28th of December. FYI ABF shipping was quoted at $690 to Pensacola 2843 miles(Ouch). Tony Partain is doing it for $640. What kind of hit did you take from Vans on deleting the spinner?
