Barry,

As you see its getting there after a lot of delays and setbacks due to Sam's mother's death, Sam's surgery, his and Judy's extended family health issues, and my health.

When it rains it pours. You have probably seen these pics before. Its currently spread all over the shop as we create vacuum form plugs, fit out the wing, flying stab, and printing parts for continued assembly of the cockpit tub.

The helix inlet and exhaust side of the fans was a work of art when Sam cut the plug for it. Depending on responses to my post I may expand to show current activity.

Yes, we fell victim to the same as you and your B-17... Tried to give him an opportunity to make $ but no work was done unless we were standing over his shoulder...literally! He got a little over $1,800 for materials. We assumed for "future" use on 6 layups...however we were left to imagine it went toward work he was doing for others.

Sorry, I'm not trying to be an ass. DW has you all talking about HIM. That was my point. You are feeding his ego right now.
I just got lectured on FB by Scott to stay out so I will.

Hi Barry,

Been thinking of you a lot and hope life is treating you better. I had a stay in the US last march, but weirdly it was in upstate NY and not in Texas. I went to a naval warfare test facility to calibrate and test some new fiber optic cables and seismic sensors that i have been heavily involved with the last. Almost no flying, i went to one event this year and flew six flight, thats it so far. Hopefully more leisure time in the future. Im doing fine though, so im very happy. I do miss my texan friends a lot though and really hope to be back sooner than later. Just wanted to chime in and hear of you are doing ok my firend.

Best regards
Oistein
