    • Awesome! I feel like I need to spread some sand on your driveway to soak up the dripping oil, grease! 🤣😁

        Thank you Gentlemen.

        I enjoy the challenges.

        We learn from each build, though it seems these don't get any faster or easier.

        Best, Steve

            You know the old saying about round engines: if it isn't dripping oil when you go out to fly it, Don't do it! That means there is NO oil in the tank! If it is dripping oil, that's probably a Good
            thing!

            Cheers

              Dave,

              I owned a V-12 Jaguar XK E-type for 20+ years and an MGB GT before that.

              I am familiar with the concept.

              Best, LB

                  Funny! In college one of my roommates had a Fiat Spyder or something like that and seemed to Always be tinkering or repairing it. On one occasion I asked him
                  how his car was doing. He responded “Well…yesterday was encouraging….”

                  LB: Did your Jag and MGB have the infamous Lucas (Prince of Darkness) electrical systems installed??🤣🤣

                    Thanks Craig.

                    Yes, she is on her feet, Yay!

                    Still a couple things to do before installing the radio and doing the setups.

                    I'd like to add a white wash to the upper surfaces to simulate 'sun fade' like on the Corsair and add some grime here and there.

                    Need to shoot better pictures then, too.

                    Don't have a time frame for the first check flight, it's always a couple's event.

                    I'd build a flying field nearby if I had the space and money.

                    Best, Steve

                    • Ladies and Gentlemen, children of all ages,

                      I took all the build photos and made a PDF Document Picture file (78Mb).

                      It is too large to post and share here, but if anyone is interested, PM me your email and I'll send it.

                      Best, LB
