Keep going, The h36 is an excellent airplane - it will reward your efforts and expenses many times over. You are doing the right thing... It took me many years to rebuild 3506, and the help and knowledge of so many airmen I can't count, but now I fly all the time over mountains, seas, deserts, forests, in cold and heat, in comfort and security. I still have work to do, but like all the other owners I find it deeply rewarding in and of itself. Upwards...
