I liked your gap seal and instrument panel, are you still at Duanesberg? My son lives in Rotterdamn and wants me to fly up for the weekend sometime, and I need a place to tie down?

That sure looks like the Firestar I bent landing at Bob Bean's field and sold to Tom Peters, who began work on it but got tired of the chore. I am very happy to see it flying again. It indeed did fly well as long as you don't stall it more than a foot or so above ground .

Yes, I am in Duanesburg still.  There are a few tiedown points available on the field.  You are free to use any one you find.  There is a concrete pad to the far east of the runway behind the Bank parking lot. You may need your own ropes.  There are a few others in the middle of the field just west of the chain link fence but I haven't been over there to see them. The grass may be pretty long over there.   There are two tiedown anchors right next to my white trailer also but no anchor for the tail wheel.
