I hear you Warren,
but it is still fun to see the responses from the crowd. One guy stated
that "I mounted a RV-3 on the tail" where-as others said why. I am just
looking for anything that might help my coupe as I put her back together
and have fun at the same time. I am going to fly her off a short, (2500
Ft) grass strip. So anything to help.
Thanks
Alan
