Here is a photo of my "2013" project. Original estimate to strip and repaint was 4 months, started early Feb '13, ended today with first flight after new paint, several modification including a manditory SB that was not complete and a partial motor overhaul (bottom end result of prop strike). Had several set backs including my painter backed out, bad paint and the afore mentioned prop strike (story for another time) that added 5 months to the out of service time.

Long road Bruce, but she looks awesome! New weight and balance I'm sure. How does she fly?

I would very much like to make Utah in June, alas it is not to be, I have a wedding to attend that the only way I would be able to miss would be for me to be on my death bed and if I miss it for any other reason I soon will be. The groom is one of our God sons.
