Thank God I have the AS5046 or I would just scrap my project. :-) My plane is going to the airport this weekend less the wings which are about 90% done. Last night I was actually laying prone inside the turtle deck installing my ELT antenna. That proves to me that the structure is pretty darn strong since nothing broke or cracked. Plus I am really glad Langford was not there with his camera cause I am sure that would have been a sight for sore eyes. I too am saying a lot of yeeeeeee....haaaaa's cause that path to the sky is getting closer and closer.

So now we have one very fast sweet flying KR2 with the AS5046 (Troy Petteway's), and one with the AS5048/45 that has crashed. I guess you could say that you have a 50% chance of crashing if you use the new airfoil! : ) I'm attaching the rudder tonight, will try to crimp the tailwheel control cables in place the next night, and might be taxiing around the neighborhood this weekend. I also have more Champ time scheduled for Sunday to practice wheel landings. Moontown's grass strip isn't long enough to do wheel landings in the Starduster Too. I'm starting to practice my yeeeeeee-haaaaaaaa's...
