Dana- The rebuild is coming along nicely. Slightly delayed by family problems- Mom and Title 19. The wings and ailerons have been rebuilt to the original "clipped" configuration of the original builder, and are ready to be re-covered. I just replaced the main engine mount tube- 1 3/4" x .049, and have one motor mount to weld on- waiting for somebody with a good back to lift the engine on for alignment. Weather permitting, I will start building a new front frame tomorrow.

Cool! Ready by Spring, d'ya think? Maybe time for some dual in one of
those modern planes with cabin heat while it's cold this winter?

From my experience with cabin heat, I'd better bring a wood stove. I think I'll go with John's recommendation of ground school until spring.
