Dan,
It's good to hear that you are up and "running" again.
I may have told you that mine is running but I am having a problem
with the Ellison. I have an E-mail from them with suggestions.
I will be trying them as soon as I get my brake master cylinder to stop
leaking where the line attaches to the cylinder.
Dan, to speed you up with your "flaps"--- I have a speedbrake, made
by Bill Clapp. I will not need it for awhile, and I am
willing to ship it to you. I will just ask Bill to make me another one, and
pick it up at the Gathering.
Dan, I may not be able to get a ride from you at the Gathering, this
year, but I sure would like to see you AND your
Blackbird at the big KR fly-in next month.
Ray
