You are correct. I was just a little..after being stopped on the ramp.

Larry, Great to see you as always. Yep it is all decided and much of the stuff implemented already. The fuselage was already the way I wanted. About 4" wider than 357cj. The turtle deck and canopy are about 3" taller it feels great to sit in... almost spacious. It is a trigear which was already well underway with a corvair. Likely will install the 3100 from 357cj and build a 2700 (underway also) for 357cj. It will have the taller new airfoil with already built alum wing tanks in the outer wings. It now has a 7.5 gal header tank also. i was also able to make the panel space a bit larger. The forward deck, canopy and turtle deck will all be removable in only a couple minutes. Weight is always in the front of my mind and I have not justified the motor for belly board or the trim. I have light weight ones now and never a question if the mechanical ones operate either. I will probably install mostly glass in the panel with full engine monitoring abilities. I think Mark would sell me his MGL. The tail feathers are all from the airfoil templates and all a bit larger than stock. The horizontal I don't really believe needs to be bigger but the vertical will make stronger cross winds easier. I think that sums it up pretty well. Hope your drive home went well.

Thanks for the update on your trip home. Very glad you made it home safely. I was wondering what your plans are for the NEW AIRPLANE. Is it going to be a nose or tail dragger? What engine are you planning to install in it. After your experience with your current plane, what equipment or airframe differences do you plan to incorporate? Have you decided yet?

KR> Dr. Dean plane update
Morning Guys, ?? ?Last week Jonsey and Eric P. were after me about pictures of "our" plane. Hopefully I have downsized them properly. Just in case I will send 2 more in a separate email. I had not done much work on it over the summer. Just too much going on, at least that was the excuse. After having to leave the Gathering early and getting home with nothing planned for 2 more days I discovered that it was really my head that wasn't into it. I took a fresh look at the problems that were holding me back and suddenly the path became clear. I went to work on the forward canopy hinges and mounted the header tank. The forward deck is now in place with the canopy and header tank all fitting together pretty nicely. I still have a few details to deal with but I know what I will do with them already. Just want to thank everyone that I talked with last week as it reinvigorated me as much as anyone else that was there. When I go to work on the plane it really goes very quickly compared to the process that I took on N357Cj. I literally spent 4 times as much time this week looking for tools and parts as I did actually building. Now to stick with it I should have the fuselage in primer by New Years. ?? Hey come to think of it I have the best both worlds going for me ... I can go fly N357CJ anytime I want and go to the shop and build any other time. I love them both. I didn't rally tell anyone about the trip home last week from MVN. After I left I had to detour pretty far south into Kentucky and pick my way through weather for over an hour. The tail winds that were forecast never materialized but at least it wasn't much head wind either. I ended up breaking into the clear well south of Cincinnati and staying that way until I over flew a cloud deck a bit west of Hagerstown. The look ahead showed clear at UKT so I stayed above the clouds. I was now in a very tight time vs.fuel management flight. The lower I went (started at 11,500) the more headwind I picked up ... The more fuel flow it took to stay on the time schedule. I was trying to get home before dark. I finally decided to descend through the broken cloud deck just East of Harrisburg knowing that the ceiling had also raised to above 6000. The head wind steadily increased with lower altitude to over 30 mph. I made a straight inn approach with the runway lights on well after sunset. When i was 30 miles out I could see the ground well but by the time I landed it was pretty dang dark. I filled up the next day and found that I had about 3.5 gals remaining. So I was a bit under my personal min. but I could have done a go around or gotten to a bigger airport. Just a bit stressful. If I would have fueled up the day before I could have improved things by 30 to 40 minutes. Still all is well and all is safe.

Jack Cooper is, (was?) a good friend of mine. I have called his home a number of times but got no answer. I have emailed him many times, (again just a couple of days ago), and none were returned as "Not Deliverable" so his email is still current.
