I picked this little beauty up from the freight yard yesterday. She's been named Matilda, Matty for short. Best lookin lot lizard I've ever seen!

For those of you that remember me agonizing over this decision at Oshkosh, here's the end result.

Cheerio,
Guy

Dam strait, Zippy!

WS, that engine looks like yours!

Did you sell it to him?

I think you guys are building the same plane!

Guy, looks great!

Actually Captain, mine looks like this below.

Hmmm, I seemed to recall yours to have some grey on it. Maybe that is your hair I was thinking of!

I do like the color of Guy's engine, but on the downside it is harder to spot leaks on than yours.

Maybe next year I will buy mine. I still have time to think about colors.

I'm pretty sure you're only going to get the solid red engine if you're willing to cough up the extra bank for the Red-Gold package. It might be worth it, but a few thousand dollars here and there sure adds up....

A thousand here, a thousand there... but who's counting!?!
