Thanks Bob & Jim,
The surgery went fine, and now no pain, but the ironwork they inserted was a lot more than expected, hence a lack of movement these days, and maybe age has something to do with it??
But, getting in or out of the Thorp is a no go, and as for getting in and under, forget it.
So the dream has to go. An easy project for someone and the engine and prop will go separately.
Speedbird 1.

Sorry Phillip,
I have been lax in my responses. I have sold the complete airplane I am afraid.
