Matt: That is so cool! All my life I've been attracted to flight, be it a bird, small plane, or jet flying over. Just the other night I finally addmitted that probably my first and biggest disappointment was when I mentioned to Dad that I'd like to be a pilot. He told me he didn't think I could pass the eye test. Looking ('way) back, we were maybe coming home from an eye appointment at the time! Read my tagline!

Mike, any photos of what that will be going into?

Matt, cool!

Matt-

That is soooo cool! I bet the silence is unbelieveable. And it's better than a hybrid on fuel. Give us a write up on what it's like.

I live about twenty minutes from RDU international and every plane that leaves there has to go right over my house. I hate the noise but there's little that can be done there.

It's not as quiet as you'd think. There is some wind noise, particularly with the landing gear down. My friend is currently working on a video that encompasses the restoration and first flights, including footage from a camera mounted in the cockpit. I'll post the link when he finishes it.

yep 1000 pieces of cub time killer, but a fun one

Jeff, wow that puzzle has it all! Lots of pieces, a picture of several Farmalls including a 1206, a Cub Cadet, some nice barns and a sweet old farm house.

That's a GREAT puzzle! How old is it and where in the world did you come up with it??

We are big fans of puzzles at our house come inclement weather. What better way to spend an afternoon/evening waitin for the snow to quit outside so you can fire up a Cub to go play/push/plow or throw!!

Oh yes, and don't forget the popcorn and your choice of adult beverage!

Sorry if I'm late Kraig. Here's the car that the stroker motor will go in this winter. And yes, that's me an a niece from California also.
