ended up re-skinning most of the fuselage and nacelles for a more worn look,
and spent the best part of lastnight's lamp-oil bolting on a set of Wright 1820's.

Milton's done an outstanding job on the pontoons, so Ill be skinning them tomorrow.

Now,...back to work - a little engine testin' .......CLEAR!

I am stuck in Oakland until next week. All I have with me is my Laptop with a basic FS installation and an old stick to do a bit of testing with the Dash-7 before getting back to the real rig.
So I don't think I can participate this Sunday.

Cheers
Stefan
 
. . . .and I planned to participate, but my son has come in from Germany for a few days layover (he's an AF Medic) and tomorrow is the only day he'll be here before flying back out Monday afternoon. :salute:
