I looked at some pictures of the airframe -- I think a radial would look great! Best of luck with your build.

What are you planning for engine?

I wish he had written more. Loved his writing.

Engine break in?

I’ll be at Rock the Ramp Friday as well. My plane must be faster because I’m pretty sure I’ll make it to OSH on Saturday.

You'll be fine! It's the people who don't worry about it that become the problem.

The North 40 begins to turn over on Wednesday and accelerates into Thurs/Fri. I would guess Scholler would experience the same thing.

I hope you realize that there is a whole unit at a self-storage facility labelled as "Bryan Turner's past flights" just waiting for you to pick it up. In fact, if you don't pay the grand, they're going to bring over the Storage Wars guys and one of them is going to end up with it.

It's starting to look to me like a number of financial institutions pushed investments into HTM to avoid the hit to equity this last year. Schwab started the year with $0 in HTM and ended the year with about half their portfolio in it...further reducing their "room to maneuver" as you note.

As someone currently covering wings on a supercub, I appreciate the clarity of the photos!
