Thanks guys.... :-)I know many of you have been waiting patiently for new entries. I had expectedto do alot of building this past fall/winter but my other hobby (my car) totallyzapped my time and money.I've since slowed down with that and have decided to devote most of my free timeback to the plane. Look to see more entries on the site on a semi-weekly basisfor a while.Hoping to have the center section built as soon as AS&S sends my cabane wires.Until then I'm working on small odds and ends on the fuse and tail group.I'd REALLY love to fly this thing in October/November of 2004DJ VeghN74DVwww.imagedv.com/aircamper ----- Original Message -----
