Building a 9A with too much fuel and too much engine - should drop dead any minute now. :roll:

Wow that is great progress in 2 years. I am still months away from rolling but I can't wait. Good looking work there!

Very nice Greg! It's getting exciting around here! Rolling the canoe was a big event for me because right after that is when stuff really starts getting installed...static lines, brakes, etc...VERY cool time!

Nice work man, looks great!!

Nice progress Greg. I was 3 1/2 years in before I even started my fuse, so by my pace, you are really moving along.

Greg,
Great milestone! I remember how good it felt to roll mine, just a few months ago. You're really making good progress. Wow.

When I started my project (first metal cut 1-22-2008) I figured my spare time would be the restriction on the project, but I'm able to put much more time into than I expected, and now it's obvious that the finances will be the restriction. It's time for some "creative accounting"!
